When someone really goes to tell you something about what they're thinking, they're going to wear that experience with them. That's what you have to share.

Rock and roll is - and should be - a kid's place.

But I really do have a soft spot for the solo shows. Any musician who writes and sings will tell you that's the center of it, that is it. It's almost like there's something church-like about it and you gotta go back there, if you're a songwriter that sings your material.

White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony.

Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before.

The music business is a weird business. Sometimes licensing doesn't happen because some business component that you never knew about stops it.

It's a tough thing to know that when you're making your album, you're going to end up collaborating with, say, Wal-Mart, on your artwork. That just sucks. And the pressure behind getting the numbers real fast is, to me, dizzying.
