She's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me. And I thank God, that she isn't, cause how boring that would be.

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.

Yea there ain't nothing not affected when two hearts get connected. All that is will be or ever was; every single choice we make; every breath we get to take is all because two people fell in love.

If I get an idea for a song, I have a melody for it. I'm a musician first. I'm not limited by the fretboard.

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 like to look at the songs like they're little movies.

In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.
