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

You know, no matter what I am or what I do for a living, I'm still, you know, the husband and the dad and the protector of the house, and I have to be conscientious about that.

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

Embrace every challenge you have, every person you meet, every place you visit, every task you succeed at, and especially those at which you fail. You will learn from them all. You'll learn about the world at large and about other people but most important, you'll learn about yourself.

You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.

Don't look over your shoulder and don't use or abuse others to get ahead. Keep your eyes focused on your goals and keep working for what you believe in and what you want to accomplish.

I'm a lucky guy. I don't take for granted, for one minute, what I do.
