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

When I was about 3, my grandfather used to give me and my sister a nickel to sit out on the front porch with him and sing songs.

Success is fickle, but creativity is a gift.

I wish I had a nickel for every song that I've left in the bathroom, written down on a matchbox, or just totally forgotten about

If I have an idea, I write it down, although I usually carry a little dictation machine with me because I'm too lazy to write

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

On acoustic guitar I tend to stay in the key of D for some reason. On electric guitar I keep basic: C, G, D, and A. The key of D minor is also real good for me.
