I'll never be the best guitar player.

Happy wife, happy life. I think every man learns that quick. Really quick.

I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.

It's okay to have faith in something that you can't see or touch.

When you are writing a song for something else, if you are doing something for money, I always think that's bad luck.

It's more difficult to write a song about having your heart ripped out of your chest while you're in love. Because it lacks honesty. And the honesty comes through in the music, it really does.

I guess if you split the difference between the U.K. and the U.S., you would get Canada. But that's just due to proximity. Just because of distance, we get a lot more cultural spillover from America.
