Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it's a hard life, and I've risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I've made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.

One thing that will make you quit smoking is sitting across from Keith Richards all night. I don't mind being ugly, but I sure don't want to look like that.

I've paid for more pianos in hotel lobbies than you can imagine.

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

I've got friends who didn't vote. I want to smack them upside the head.

I am scared of being broke and famous. I think that would be the biggest curse.
