My goal is to hit the gym every day I'm on vacation. Usually I just end up sleeping and drinking beer.

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

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.

I am so anti-people's opinions when I'm making a record, but when it's finished and I put it out there, I hope somebody likes it.

It's always performing for me. I write and I record so I can perform. It all ties to that. I've done it since I was a little kid. That's my absolute rush, is playing for different people every night, bringing something else to the table they've never seen.

Life aint always beautiful, but its a beautiful ride.

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.
