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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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