Read what he said:

“I’m actually terrified that I might irritate somebody, I’m afraid if I say, ‘No, my kids are here, I’m having a family time,’ the person turns to me and says I’m an idiot, I’m afraid this will happen.”

“I don’t take photos, I don’t sign autographs, I’ll shake your hand and I’ll talk to you for five minutes. I’d rather do that than to have the impression someone stole a piece of my privacy.”

“If I acted otherwise it would not be nice for me and I would end up being pissed off, and resenting myself would not even want to exchange ideas with people. So I prefer to talk just as much as acting like a kind of idol”.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
