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.

I get to cry to Barbara Walters, when things don't go my way. I'll get community service no matter which laws I break.

You can't kill it with goodbye; It always finds a place to hide inside your heart for your whole life. Love is never-ending.

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

When Ray Flacke came out, it was like 'What in the heck is this?' ... there's a guy who had that Tele players attitude, and he plugged straight into that amp with a delay, and it was unbelievable the way he would bend those big strings ... he was really unique.

I don't stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go.
