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

Whether I'm making my own record, or playing a guitar part, I want what I do to have an impact.

We all get caught up in the process, especially when you have a wave of success. But to me, being creative is not about rehashing everything you've done over and over. It's to continue to grow, continue to get better.

You can't define the ache that's in George's voice. It's just something inherently him. It doesn't need definition. It doesn't need clarification. It doesn't need a lot of things. You just sit back and appreciate it. It's just greatness.

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.

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

I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.
