Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.

It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.

I don't find the songs; they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.

I think it surprises a lot of people that I'm still around, you know, still - that I'm not pushing up daisies, as they say.

I was in chemical jail.

Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.

Somehow it helps just to take something that's internal and externalize it, to see it in front of you.
