When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.

I'm like a shark. I've got to be constantly moving.

[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.

If I'm 40 years old and wearing a 30 waist, that's pretty good.

Don't blink. You just might miss your babies growing like mine did. Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your 'better half' Of fifty years is there in bed. And you're praying God takes you instead. Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink.

I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.

Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.
