You don't have to give up who you are to be successful just because you're different.

I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.

My guitar and singing was my way of crying.

In Europe there's the upper crust, and these are long, historically families and social systems that have certain established rules that's harder to break into.

My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.

You never know what life has in store for you, but I believe there are certain things one is meant to go through

I'm very appreciative of, and I also, having traveled the world, know that the United States is one of the few places where there really are no limitations. As long as you've got drive and hard work and a good idea and you can get out there and do your thing, there's no social classes, so in a lot of countries there's a big history of regardless of how much money you may make, there's still that little thing where you're not in society. That doesn't exist here.
