I'm not interested in a persona.

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.

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.

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.

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