I didn't have any clue as to what true marriage meant. I was so used to committing to one thing - music - and then I had to totally commit to a second thing, marriage. I didn't know how to commit to both of them. It was a scary moment for me.

had no excuses for the things that we'd done, we were brave, we crazy, we were mostly young.

I hate album covers where people are just smiling so big. It's like a neon sign that says PLEASE COME BUY ME.

My life can be insanely complicated sometimes, and there's a certain simplicity that I crave.

My mom and my real father divorced before I was one. My mom and my stepfather divorced when I was in high school. Then she fell in love with a guy, and the guy died. That was a rough time. She has handled adversity well. That's where I got my work ethic. So my mother's where I got my love of music, but my father's where I got my athletic ability. And my hair loss. And my love of women.

I hate my smile. I always have, even in my school pictures when I was a little kid.

I truly believe that music is the most powerful thing we have.
