Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy.

Safety's just danger, out of place.

I only tour in short bursts, I'm only ever away from my family and three daughters for a month or two.

There's some things I can't write about, just terrible personal tragedies.

My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.

Girls liking bad boys is the cookie jar complex. When somebody tells you you can't have a cookie, you want a cookie. But I live in a bad-boy world, artistically. All the jazz boys are bad boys.

I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he's genuinely interested in what she's going through.
