The personal antics have overshadowed the music. I never wanted that but I knew what I was getting into when I got into everything I got into.

I fell in love. It was a great thing to be in love. I was a complete idiot in love.

These poor kids in Baghdad have no running water, no showers. They wipe with baby wipes. My heart goes out to them.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

If you had told me when I was starting out that I would be coming down to Nashville, kind of weaving in and out of the country scene, I never would've thought that in a million years.

Of course I want people to show up to the concerts and I am sure for that to decline would be a difficult thing.

My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.
