There were a lot more girls at the shows early on. I'd get off stage and there would be options. Those days are long gone, thank god.

I wanted to give my first instincts a chance without shooting them down immediately, which I sometimes do.

I'm 45 and I don't have time to spend two years of my life bringing in producers and dragging the record around the planet.

Anyone who has toured as long as I have, or who has traveled as extensively, and says that they've never cheated is lying.

Songs are puzzles - you get an intro, or maybe an end, but you gotta fill in the rest. Sometimes they come easy and sometimes they're a pain in the ass.

I've guess I've gotten older and my sex appeal has waned. It's OK. I've got an amazing girlfriend and she keeps me happy.

I feel like when the songwriting slows, I'd love to help others with their records. If it's something I really believe in, it's worth the effort.
