You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.

I have a studio in a barn at home - we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It's fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.

In the old days gigging was everything. The whole of life was about gigs. Everything was about waiting for the gig and then doing the gig and going nuts and then afterwards the party and all the stuff that goes with it. And then that party continues through your twenties and thirties. I'm now 51, and it's still very much in my blood, but I'm really hard pushed... the gig is the party for me now.

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine, to hit me from behind, and I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.

I had a very moral upbringing, and spiritual in a sort of not very specific way.

There's a lot more information at hand and sometimes there's information overload and we become desensitized to it, so things start to mean less.

I don't know much about God. But if everything does originate with God, then certainly songs do as well.
