My advice is: if you've got to be miserable to write great music, then drive a truck.

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

The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00.

Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.

There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.

I don't think I've had a more miserable life than a lot of people. I think I've had a pretty lucky life.

I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.
