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.

I think you want to write a song that's like the songs you are into.

I would never talk to a girl in a bar, like a pick-up thing. But I could talk to anyone if they wore a t-shirt of a band I like.

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.

Sometimes people come up and say, "You have this line in this song and it meant a lot to me." You don't always remember that line as the one. You're putting part of your human being on the page so people are going to have different responses - the other humans are going to connect with different parts.

My wife is very happy about me keeping all my music in my pocket.
