Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe. And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free.

Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

The fans are the end result of what we do. Sometimes I think we forget that those are the folks that mean it in this game. There's plenty of evidence to be found that you can have all the #1 records in the world, but if you really ain't touchin' them, you don't come home with gold records and platinum records. I'm very proud that we've only had one #1 record, but we've sold two and one half million!

The romantic stuff comes a lot easier when you're experiencing true love. It feels better, it feels more natural to record love songs when you're in love.

I'm a machine freak. I just love it when you can get a big ol' steel machine to do the most that it's capable of doing.

I write about what I know and what I've experienced. That's the only way it can be real to me. I love songwriting. There is something so satisfying in coming up with an idea and turning it into a song that means something to people.

I'd like to set things straight, a few more people should be pulling their weight.
