I'm a very lucky man. I get to do the thing I want most in life, write songs and sing them for people, and ride bikes. I love my family. I love my home. I get to work with people I've admired my whole life. It's a pretty good life.

I've been lucky to be able to make the records I've wanted to make. The record company has never pressured me to cut certain songs.

It's really a lot easier to write about things that are problematic. Who wants to hear how happy you are?

There's no bad luck, There's just the luck you've found.
