I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road.

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

I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching

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

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 love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds.

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