I even got letters form kids in hospitals saying the music is what keeps them going, and that really touched my heart.

Life is a highway. I want to ride it all night long

Very often out of adversity that's when the best work comes.

As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.

I don't get mad too much.

I believe a lot of disease comes from anxiety, loneliness.

I think if you're a good songwriter, that's what you are first - not a star or celebrity.
