Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that, and really getting an education on it, I think it was part of the process of it, learning about it and trying to lick it.

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

I know Mick Jagger wouldn’t tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.

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.

I'm all for sharing music, but when people can download a whole record and pay nothing for it and then they share it with 100,000 other people, it's breaking down the whole business.

Be your own teacher. Let life write your textbook.

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