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.

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

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.

We sat around and I fed them barbecue and whiskey. And pretty soon everyone started to compete with each other on the guitars. It seemed the more everyone drank and ate, the more everyone got into it.

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.

I love the road. That's always been my goal. I've said that to many record labels. I want to make records. The road is my favorite. Some people hate the road, I love the road.

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.
