My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.

I think I'm going to be making country records for as long as I can see into the future. It's much more down-home and real.

Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.

Welfare mothers make better lovers.

Love is a healer and I love you.
