I need to recharge creatively, and get off the clock of having to be somewhere just because, and having to keep juggling all these things.

I live on a boat two months out of the year, and if I did not have that then I don't know how I'd be able to handle all this.... I am a very intense person on stage. I have to remember why I am there, what I am doing. You can spend all day backstage preparing for the show and lose sight of why you are doing this. Off stage, I am a very simple kind of guy. I live my life in flip-flops.

One thing that I learned that helped me deal with human behavior is confrontation, and I'm not that great with confrontation at all. But once I started to be O.K. with that, the better everybody's life got.

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves, Up on a highwire that's ready to break. When I've had just about all I can take, baby you save me

I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.

When Obama talks about raising taxes on the rich, he's looking at me.

I'm a big sports history buff. I love sports.
