And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world.

When I started out I thought I might make a little money, get some girls, get a taste of the rock 'n' roll life. It's gone way beyond that.

I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they're so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That's why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can't figure that out.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice.

I have nightmares that I'm going to wake up, and everyone's driving a Prius and living in a condo, and we're all getting health insurance.

Two of my grandparents died in a car crash. Sucks, 'cause they would have lived to a hundred.
