A good mustache makes a man for many reasons.

My mustache has become this weird iconic representation of a certain era.

There's all sorts of soul. There's Irish soul and Native American soul. If it touches you and moves you, it's soul.

The thing is, we've changed our style but we've never changed the actual roots of what we've done.

I didn't come to Nashville to put on a cowboy hat and pretend to be a country singer. My attraction to Nashville as Music City is the variety and flexibility: the fact that there's so many musicians at your disposal, so many amazing studios and talented people that you can draw from. ... I try to be myself, but at the same time I'm learning a lot, and I'm pulling from not only from the well of inspiration that I'm getting from Nashville, but I'm pulling from my roots.

If I stopped touring tomorrow, it wouldn't change my life.

You don't want to pitch a tent and live inside the Louvre. You want to check it out, appreciate it, and move somewhere else.
