When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.

I'm not ashamed of selling millions of records. I'm very fortunate to be in that position.

My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.

I think I definitely enjoy recording, but I think it's more fun to go out and perform live, because it's like instant gratification, you know? You feel the response immediately.

I get to hang out with Billy Bob Thornton at his house. We hang out over there every time we're in L.A., because he doesn't go out. We'll hang and he'll play us some of his tunes. It's pretty awesome.

I think if I try to develop a formula, it ends up not working.

Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
