I'm more like an animalistic rock chick.

Dinosaur Jr. in their live capacity are a band that put me in a state of such overwhelming rock that it often takes quite a while to come down.

I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.

I had to overcome the name Rock. If I'd been as hip then as I am now, I would have never consented to be named Rock.

I guess that I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, largely because of 'Frankenstein' being such a heavy song - you know, it was really hard rock, almost a precursor of heavy metal and just the image of the synthesizer. I happened to be the first guy to get the idea of putting a strap on the keyboard.

There was a period of time where I really hated rock music.

Especially, I don't want to ever be compared to The Rock because I'd be the poor man's version of The Rock. I'm just not him; it's not who I am as a person or as a performer. The Rock's very big and bold, and I'm not.

I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a rocker.
