“There's something great about every city we go to and you never find out what it is unless you get out of your hotel room and out of the backstage and go see what it's like.”
“My purpose is to write, be creative; to take my God-given talent and do something positive with it.”
“In retrospect, I should not have let myself be molded as much as I did.”
“I think I'm much more interested in longevity than in being the world's greatest anything.”
“Music has always been a part of my life since before kindergarten.”
“I understand things go out of fashion believe me, there are pictures of myself I can't even look at now.”
“Uncle Tom's Cabin' is another one of my favs as is 'Song & Dance Man'! I have favorites for different reasons.”
“I'm not founded on the notion that any press is good press.”
“I hate L.A.”
“I've been playing clubs since I was 11.”
“My first year in L.A., I was in a band called Plain Jane, which is where the whole name Jani came from.”
“The guys in Great White have been really pleasant to work with. They're very professional. For them, it's all about sounding good for the fans and coming home and taking care of business.”
“We jumped on a train in the mid-80s, and that train was 'hair metal.'”
“If I have to sing 'Cherry Pie' one more time in my life I'm going to throw up.”
“I love the Warrant songs. I wrote them from the heart, but I have a side to my songwriting that a lot of people may be unaware of.”
“I was offered a musical-theater scholarship at Kent State. But I turned it down. I was too into rock 'n' roll to consider another career.”
“I love Tampa.”
“I don't believe in censorship.”
“I much prefer Tampa to L.A.”
“Does '80s metal have the potential to come back as a kitschy, goofy subculture, sort of like disco? Sure. And that would be cool But there's never going to be a day when Warrant headlines the Giganto-Dome in every major city in America. Nobody intelligent expects that to happen.”
