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 wasn't a great student, C average. I was pretty shy, but I drank a lot of beer.

People who can't kiss had everything given to them.

Certain nights, when everything's perfect and we have thousands of people partying their asses off, I break my rule and have a drink onstage. I've never done a show drunk. Well, I take that back. In the early days I did.

[Music] is the one thing that connects the dots in all kinds of ways. No matter how you were brought up, no matter what your religious background or political beliefs, people still love to sing along with somebody.

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

We call it drunk philosophy. You have a few beers and you become a lot smarter.
