I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

There ain't no future in the past.

A lot of people play to impress, but the really gifted ones play to move. That's the greatest point of ever doing this.

So I didn't have anything to do with picking the songs, but I got to musically take them in places I thought might be interesting, so it was a real neat collaboration among the three of us.

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

I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.

My mom said, "What I want is a happy kid, not a rich kid. That's what I root for." She saw how much joy I got from playing music, and those years were leaner than lean!
