I didn't need more fame or money. I needed more heart.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm at a point in my career that if I want to take a little bit of a left turn and make an album that is more hushed, more acoustic and more personal, that I can do it.

When I try to brush the road dust off of me and untangle all the wires in my head, I'm usually surrounded by music on a boat. But that's not how I wake up every day.

I think it is possible to be friends with employees, but there has to be a respect level where you're not taken advantage of, either.

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

Nothing positive at all in my life came from my marriage, I can tell you that.

The thing that I love, especially after sound check, is when I'm in that stadium alone. It's complete silence. I love that.
