Sharing music is not a crime. It shouldn't be. There should be a deeper meaning to making music than just selling downloads.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.

As I get older... I start to realize that life ain't half bad. Each year, I'm amazed that I'm still alive. I don't take any of this for granted, I'm a lucky dude.

Everybody now thinks that Nashville is the coolest city in America.

Be someone's light when they are hopeless.
