I have a to-do list and I have a farm I care for, and things I like to do for fun - going to movies and all that stuff. It's a painfully normal life!

If there's a song where there's a possibility of guitar stuff that would be fun to listen to, go for it. Don't worry about what anybody thinks.

Well one thing's for sure.. all you really need is love.

When they say you're the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.

Playing live is about going for it .. it's about bringing it ... you should see a bunch of people trying out stuff, actually performing, instead of learning the record and recreating it note for note. I can't play the show the same way every night .. I really need to be in a creative environment, every night or I'll go nuts ... my manager accuses me of singing just long enough to get me to my next guitar solo - which is true.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

Anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.
