Hysterically funny, amazingly talented people. That's what I think of when I think of Canada. That, and cold beer. And mountains.

The fans have made my dreams come true. For that, I'm super grateful.

My wife and children are the greatest force that keeps me sober and strong.

Seeing my children makes me come most alive. I come home and I see my kids' faces light up when they see me at the door with my guitar case. They run to me, we hug. I never go beyond a few weeks without being in their presence, so they have adjusted quite well.

I'm on this planet for another forty years at the most and I got a baby and a wife and I'm worried about their future and that kind of fear, that anger is spilling into my lyrics, I can't just sit back and talk about myself until I'm dead.

The problem is that corporations have way too much power in Congress and the government and they're rigging the system so that they don't pay taxes, but we do. We pay for all these crazy wars they come up with.

Stop fighting and learn how to communicate honestly with each other.
