As a musician and a guitar player, I can noodle as well as anybody. But from my background as a session musician, I always try to play what is called for by the lyric and listening to the song. As a writer, that's what I do, too.

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.

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

I just want to thank everyone for their support. Sometimes friends need the help of their friends to get by.

Dare to fail. If you never fail, you're never taken risks and that's no way to take on this life.

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.

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