I have a really full life, both within music and outside it.

Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.

How I measure success is getting to make another record and being able to the come back to the same town and play again cause you sold out the last time.

You know, a lot of people feel that sobriety is about just stopping using whatever it was that you appeared to be addicted to, but it really has to do with a way of looking at your life and taking accountability.

When they were putting oil rigs up and down the California coast, the whole issue of safe energy and the addiction to fossil fuels really came into focus.

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

You don't have to look a certain way to have a hit record.
