That's what we need nowadays, is more children that have goals other than being a sports figure or some kind of celebrity. I think it's great that a kid wants to learn more and wants to be at the peak of learning, especially at that young.

If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.

Performing for the Dalai Lama - those are words I never imagined coming out of my mouth.

It's important that adults get along with each other for the child's sake, and that is our situation.

For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.

I've learned to never underestimate the impossible.

You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.
