There's a lot of craft in songwriting. The divine inspiration is when the idea comes. It may be a riff. It may be a word. It may be a phrase. It may be a title. Sometimes, in the best of both worlds, that divine inspiration extends through the whole song. I've literally sat down and written a song from beginning to end, almost complete lyrics and everything without ever stopping...in two minutes. The chorus of 'She's Gone' was like that.

My guitar playing is a synthesis of traditional American acoustic style and Urban Pop and RB.

I have a great family, I live an amazing life.

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.

You have to know when to strike and when to retreat.

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

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