When you play arenas you can create whatever you want. At a theater the height of the stage and the limitations of the theater can make you feel more separate from the audience.

All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn't bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I've ended up with an educated thug.

I can't see myself just endlessly singing the same songs over and over again.

Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

I think you only really feel like an outsider if you've been an insider.

I'm uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention.
