I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.

I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.

From the cradle to the grave, temptations all around. But no matter how good the fix, its gonna take you down.

I don't swear much; I've taken those words out of my vocabulary, and having kids, you have to have two sets of language!

Once we get into the groove, we're kind of like long-distance runners - that adrenalin kicks in for me and I just keep running - and I don't stop!

My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.

Youre always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully theyre all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadnt done on the first one.
