I'm not going to waste a second feeling sorry for myself because I'm not a bigger star than I am. I can walk down the street in most places in the world and I still drive really nice cars.

Fundamentalism, as practiced by the Taliban, is the enemy of real thought, and religion, too.

At home, I'm lucky if I can write three or four hours before the phone starts ringing and the kids want to go to soccer.

I don't care what's happening in the mainstream of country music. I haven't in a long time.

I do not believe Tony Blair was a fundamentally good man who went bad. I believe he was evil in the first place.

I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.

What saves me from being a drug addict is sort of the opposite. It's me realizing that I don't really control anything.
