I tell the audience every night, "I hope you didn't pay more than face value on that ticket, because we ain't worth more than that, and you ain't gonna get any more than that."

Advice is cheap; you can take it from me.

I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.

I'm writing new music all the time. I'm just not writing pop stuff. It's not my goal.

I'm not the kind of guy who wants to be on a pedestal.

Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

There will be other words some other day; that is the story of my life.
