Through your life, most people peel away the junk that's not useful, that's superfluous. You are determined to peel that away. I do one thing at a time. One man at a time. One car. One house. One child. One job.

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.

You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go "Na-na-na-na" on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

It's none of the governments business who comes to, in, on, or from my body.

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
