I think that some of the best Crowes stuff we did had that spontaneous vibe. Thats something thats always interested me in music. Im not really the kind of person to get too bogged down in the details. I think that takes away from the emotion and the vibe of what youre doing.

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

What I had to learn was, that I'm responsible for my perception of things.

My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.

In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.

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.

Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.
