It's very hard for me to relax.

I live to love and laugh a lot and that's all I need

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.

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.

Ive always been drawn to the ocean.

I truly believe that music is the most powerful thing we have.

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.
