I try to ride my horses three times a week. It's nice to be out in nature, where you can't take a phone call.

I'm one of a dying breed who goes out and tours all the time. Labels don't spend the money to send people out to play before they become famous, but we did do that so the fans we have are word of mouth fans who have been travelling around with us for years, and they buy the albums, but they are also the ones who go out and get the bootlegs. I don't discourage bootlegging, I like playing live, I don't think it hurts my album sales at all if there are bootlegs out there. Who cares?

I hate how I've had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We've had some issues, but that is the nature of business.

I would never put a video in front of my kid. While I don't use videos as a babysitter, they have come in handy on the airplane.

In a nutshell, this United Nations non-profit organization [World Food Programme] feeds millions of starving children at schools in third world countries as an incentive for them to attend school, which in turn might better their futures. They do so much more but I was so struck by this story.

Don't the wounded bird still sing?

Beatle's wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni.
