If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.

I'm not interested in a persona.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.
