Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.

The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

The great British blues guitarists of the Sixties - people like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green - could play like virtuosos, but they also understood the importance of energy and intensity

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.

I know that the gift that God gave me isn't gonna just wither up and die unless I let it die, so it's a matter of me having the faith that it's gonna come out. Whether or not the public's gonna like it is another story. But I think as long as I keep changing and sticking to what I really love - and the same goes for Steven and the other guys in the band - then people are gonna like it.
