I've never really been star struck. I was a little bit taken aback when I was doing a chat show recently and I was sat in the make-up chair chatting to a guy say next to me but I couldn't look round and see who it was, it was only when I got up I realised it had been Bryan Adams I'd been talking to!

The music became secondary to being rock stars.

I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star.

Rock stars are good at making noise.

I think I get a lot of ideas from when I was a kid, listening to Casey Kasem's 'American Top 40.'

I don't think I had the aspiration to be a star growing up. I loved Madonna and Bette Midler, and I had my karaoke machine and would sing their songs.

Barbra Streisand, for one, is one of my idols. I've listened to her since I was a little kid - the first album I ever bought was 'A Star is Born' with Kris Kristofferson.

On 'American Top 40' the Kasem voice soared and swooped, like an expert aural acrobat, through promos, jingles and dedications, usually rising to a dramatic peak for the top-selling song of the week.

I think the greatest star in American at the moment is Kevin Costner.

I could care less if it's Mick Jagger or the man on the street. I just like interesting people, and I happen to know a lot of stars.
