Whatever success I've had so far has been assimilated into my body and mind.

Each acoustic guitar has its own character and personality. On a particular day, I might pick one up and start noodling around, looking for some emotional content in the chords.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

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

I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.

I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.

Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.
