I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

I did all my guitar playing at my house. And then finally, I was throwing hay and stuff working in Stockton and somebody offered - somehow they had heard me singing at the house and said: Hey, I'll hire you for our fraternity party or sorority party. And I said: Well, are they going to pay me? And he said: Yeah, we'll pay you 50 bucks.

I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.

When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.

I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.

I'm not the kind of guy to talk about angels: I'm a very pragmatic kind of guy.
