I'm not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn't do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don't have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on.

Sometimes you do have a good time. But when it gets to the point where you're sitting in your home and you're just trying to cover what you don't want people to know. It's painful. And then you want more just so that you don't let anybody see you cry. Or anybody to see we're not happy.

I'm older, I'm matured... I'm looking forward to the years to come. Good years.

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.

I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.

I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.

I've turned down a lot of arena dates because I've done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them.
