I don't make my living making records. Maybe someday I will.

Coming from a smaller place always made things feel more personal, which is really what it's all about.

Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.

It's hard to be spontaneous when you have 40 people in your crew, and you're playing to 16,000 people every night, and there's giant lighting rigs, it's hard to change direction on a dime.

A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.

Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music, but nobody listened to music louder than my dad.

I tend to name albums after one of the songs.
