There's a lot of people I'd love to work with at some point, but I think the song has to be the right thing. It has to be the right fit.

I think every artist wants to have that 'Grammy award winner' tag in front of their name.

I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.

You don't want to get too ahead of yourself and go out thinking you can play stadiums every night, and they end up being about half-full.

I didn't want my records to sound like anybody else, and when I've got my guys in the studio, I have a language with those guys because we work together every day. A lot of times, you bring in outside guys, studio players, whatever, and they're great musicians. It's just that they don't necessarily play the way I want it to be played.

I try to record music that people can relate to.

I think everybody would love to say they were in a movie. Whether or not I'm any good at it, I don't know.
