I've got my own studio, so I sit in my studio writing and if I get a great take, that's the take.

Knowing so many people like myself who are singers and in traveling bands, the people you're in a relationship with feel slighted because they feel you're giving all your energy to your fans, and there's a lot of truth to that.

There's so many examples of just how lucky we are to be born anywhere in this world that is free.

I'm not only a fan of Apple products, I have stock in the company. I think Steve Jobs has started one of the greatest corporations in the world.

I know I'm not the best. I'm not the best singer, I'm not the best songwriter, I'm not the best player.

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

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.
