I'm not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I'm too rough on instruments.

When a song gets its legs and begins to come to me, this is the euphoric hook that keeps me wanting to continue.

By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member

I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.

When I became 16 I started thinking seriously about singing.

I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there.
