I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.

No matter who you meet in life, you take something from them, positive or negative.

Life aint always beautiful, but its a beautiful ride.

I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you.

If you date a musician, you're never, ever really gonna be first either. You're gonna be right behind the music and maybe right close.

I think the real problem is that nobody buys albums anymore, so you don't get the depth of the artists that are out today. What you get is whatever they felt is politically correct to get on there and actually make some impact. I think that's where you're losing your depth. You're only getting the very top of everything. It really bothers me.

Every storm runs out of rain, just like every dark night turns into day.
