Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.

I love being a dad. I'd have more kids if I could. I'd take a couple more, one or two more before I croak.

A man can never have too many pairs of sunglasses or too many guitars.

Going through the grief period of my dad and losing him - that was the worst thing because you know when you get that call. When you are seven, eight years old, you have that almost vision in your mind of what that's going to be like and what your going to feel like and it doesn't prepare you.

There's nothing like a love for our children. I love being a papa, and that's the truth.

I've spent a lot of Thanksgivings on the road with my band, so anytime that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family in a traditional aspect, eating sweet potatoes and cranberries and stuffing and all the trappings of Thanksgiving and then get on a treadmill the next day extra long, I'm happy.

I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.
