I'm uncomfortable with being famous. I hate it. But I love making music. I love getting paid to do it, and I love getting on my boat after I get paid to do it.

I'm a loving drunk. I get sentimental. "I love you guys." I drunk-dial a lot.

First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.

I like to rock and roll, but I'm a mushy guy, too. I want to be the guy that all the girls love and all the guys want to hang out with.

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.

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.

In 1994 I bought my first tour bus. I still own it and believe it or not it's still out on the road on my tour.
