Being with my family is very important to me, and touring is very important to me, too, because it's who I am. It's what I do.

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!

I always wish I'd had more mentors, better mentors, wiser mentors, people who were proper professional working musicians to guide me as I was coming up.

You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don't even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.

There are certain songs that are sacred. People want to hear them just as they are in their head; they don't want you messing around with them. And then there are some other songs, if they've been around a long time in our set list, that I think we can take some creative liberties with.

And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.

I make no apologies for being a huge fan of radio songs.
