I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.

You have to go out there and give a piece of yourself -- your life, your soul. And you better give the audience everything you can -- physically, emotionally, musically. Then maybe they'll accept you and give you a standing ovation at the end.

Money talks, but it don't sing and dance, and it don't walk. And long as I can have you here with me, I'd much rather be, forever in blue jeans.

Crackling Rosie make me smile. God, if it lasts for an hour that's alright, to set the world right. Find us a dream that don't ask no questions.

Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him.

I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.

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