I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.

I get into each thing I do, to the point where nothing else matters. I guess I'm an extremist.

Of course you have to support the troops. They're just kids. They're doing for their country what's expected of them.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

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

I was just 20 years old when I wrote Broken Arrow.

Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning, find someone who's turning, and you will come around.
