I would love to hear someone write a song like 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' rather than 'You're hot. I'm hot. We're in a truck.' It's just mind-numbing to me.

The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.

Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there's an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.

When you ask a songwriter, "What's your favorite song?" he goes, "The next one."

It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.

It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.

I'm the guy who loves being in the supporting cast.
