The public needs to know - they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

The dark night of the soul for me was one night in Florida, when I had been on the road for about four years and I realized that everybody around me was on my payroll, that my old friends hadn't been in touch with me and my family didn't know where to get me. I was a very unhappy guy and it was because I was really alone.

I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life.

You can't possibly prepare for what happens to you the day you hit No. 1 and people treat you differently.

Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.

Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You've got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You've got to go out and fight for it.
