Mediocrity's easy, the good things take time, the great need commitment.

You can't get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I'd want the best people and the best stuff.

I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.

Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't need the affirmation or anything.

I guess I lost my way, there were so many roads. I was living to run, and running to live, never worried about paying or even how much I owed.

That's a good way to live, go against the wind.
