You have to make a lot of sacrifices, and the main thing you have to sacrifice is your privacy. It's funny because when I was growing up, my daddy was and still is an insurance agent in our home town. He couldn't go anywhere without somebody recognizing him or needing something from him.

Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

Not only am I trying to be a daddy, but also a friend, not be the old fogey thats slowing everybody else down... not for a while, at least.

It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.

We all have those days when you feel like you're against the world, every little thing goes wrong and your blood pressure is up. And you feel like punching somebody!

The life that I live and the experiences that I have always affect what comes out of me creatively. I think that's what makes music real.
