I'm surrounded by great guitar players.

I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.

There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.

The whole point of me doing a Christmas record and what I centered it around was the song 'Christmas with You' from the point-of-view of the soldiers in Iraq.

Everything looks better with my eyes closed.

I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.

Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.
