When people hit on feeling a certain melancholy or elation, it's a really exciting moment. I think making that connection is the goal, and what makes something great.

I am a really obsessive music listener, and I would look for clues.

I think when you are doing a song you're trying to give people enough details that they connect.

An album doesn't mean as much to a lot of people now, compared to just songs.

The reality is that the shows kind of disconnect from the songs a little bit. You're playing the songs, but they take on a life of their own.

You can't get every girl; you get the ones you love the best.

When you get into rock 'n' roll myths, like that Rod Stewart blew his whole band and had to get his stomach pumped, it's ridiculous, but everyone's heard it.
