You've got your entourage and people that help you make whatever happen around you. Everything's crazy and you're not paying attention to your inner feelings because you're so busy. I couldn't take it.

Keeping grounded and keeping focused and keeping calm and thankful, that comes from God.

My mother passed at the end of the Circus tour. After that I really needed to take some time and just chill out and get my head together.

Eventually you're going to have a digital transfer anyway when you make a CD, so it doesn't matter as long as what you're hitting first is what you want it to be.

Things that would shock us years ago are like nothing now.

I honestly don't remember how I wrote or did the songs. Or the sessions. They all become very much a blur. And each album is like that. It may be that there are different locations, it may take longer, shorter, or whatever, but it's always something that just happened.

God said, Here. Have it. Enjoy it. I'm gonna be miserable?
