I can't read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

When you're really looking forward to something, you don't feel the sense of pressure.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

It's better to not set your expectations high. And that's what happens when you have a long career - not every album is going to be record setting.

I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of.

Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.

When you're in love, you've found your soul mate, you think life is going one way, and suddenly it's completely apparent it's not. You have to rethink your whole purpose.
