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

Believe it or not, I want to keep growing my audience.

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

There's this idea that somebody's job could be more important than somebody else's, and to me, that's not true.

What good is it if a guy can sing real good but he sits on his ass and doesn't make anybody feel anything? I can connect with an audience every time I play. When I sing, they listen.

On the road, in my bunk, I sleep better than I do anywhere else in the world.
