 I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been. |
| I think it'd be a real nightmare to put a record out and sell 20 million copies and then that's it. |
| Every night is different, you never know what it's going to be like. I remember every night. I don't like to compare them. |
| My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity. |
| I never sit down to write. When I'm moved, I do it. I just wait for it to come. You just hear it. I can't really describe writing. It's in my head. |
| People feel they have to live that stereotypical lifestyle in order to be a rock star. You don't have to shoot heroin and act a certain way to be a rock and roll musician. |
| Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore. |
| I've always been into films. I've been offered lots of films but they've always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict. |
| That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be. |
| People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it. |
| My dream is to become a farmer. Just a Bohemian guy pulling up his own sweet potatoes for dinner. |
| I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well. |
| I knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5. |
| Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through. |
| There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith. |
| My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe. |
| They think I'm being serious when actually I'm a very big clown. But you have to know me to see that. I'm constantly cracking up and cracking everybody else around me up. |
| You're never promised your next breath. |
| There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern. |
| We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being. |
