Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country.

The fact of the matter is, when I'm on tour, I'm juggling so hard to keep all the balls in the air that I don't often get to really enjoy what I'm out there doing.

Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of.

Somebody who has been in a very bad wreck is going to be very conscientious about not speeding through a yellow light... You just learn so many good lessons when you go through a failed marriage.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.

I think the first time you try anything in a public way, you feel really exposed.
