I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'

As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!

We're phonies if we're not exactly who we are.

I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.

When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.
