I think a lot of people want to be remembered the way they were, as opposed to the way they are now.
From Bryan Adams
Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.
I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I'd love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn't me, it wasn't my name.
I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
I need to be able to rock out.
I've never been enamoured by the idea of being a celebrity.
I moonlight as a singer.
My father's a character.
I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run.
I watch everybody every night, from sitting down to being on their feet at the end, and I feel a sense of reinvention, of caring, presenting these songs in their purest form.
