I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

I still need practice in enjoying the fruits of success.

I've always accepted some kind of deity, especially as a songwriter.

As I said before, stones to me is meant things that hurt people, things that cause pain and thats what this song is about.

I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.

I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.

I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
