I could write a book on the things I've done drunk.

I'm not worried about headlines affecting my family, especially my son. He knows who I am. Whatever these things he is reading, he has a different perspective than the rest of the world just as a lot of my friends do.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I don't steal things. I'm rich.

I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it.

I just don't like being told what to do.
