Marty Casey

Marty: (about his experience on "Rock Star")So those are the tools that I've learned, and getting this falsetto voice that I never knew I had. There have been a few honest musical breakthrough moments that kicked me up a notch.

Marty: (on INXS's offering Marty's band the opening spot on thier tour) Being the opening act is really the best possible scenario for me. I've been with my band for 15 years and now I get the best of both worlds.

Marty: (about not being lead singer of INXS) I can't say I wasn't disappointed not to get the gig, it's what I came here to do, but it seemed like it was meant to be.

Marty: I'm being told how much this has changed my life, but I haven't stepped outside into the civilian world for weeks. My family doesn't treat me any different, but a lot of people ask me for autographs. That is completely different for me, but I'm a lead singer, I love attention.

Marty: INXS has been around for a long time.

Marty: My concern going into this was that my music is a little different than their music. J.D. seems like he's in the same style. I totally respect INXS' decision, it is their band and they've given me so much.

Marty (at the HBO party following the 2006 Emmy awards): See how I'm still getting my 15 minutes of fame a year later? (laughs)
