When the show opens, fans can text to a number we flash up on the screen, and then we do a meet-and-greet with 60 to 80 people every night. It's something I love doing, and I would say that's probably more fans than most artists bring backstage after a show.

When I'm writing a song, it's just me and the songwriters. Then when the song is done, there are publishers that hear it, then people in my management, then my wife and my boys and my friends, and if they're all lovin' it, it's kind of withstanding all the criticism I need.

My thing is you just have to try to feel young and stay young. Obviously you get a little older, but I still want my music to be young. I don't want to sound like an old dad onstage, so you just have to write music that sounds young.

My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.

That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.

You want women to think of you in a sexy manner. It's all part of the business. It drives ticket sales. It's all a part of it.

Our crew guys, it's amazing what they have to go through to make a show happen every night.
