 I love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds. |
| As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member. |
| Once you start thinking about it in a mercenary frame of mind, then you're finished. You're a joke, because there are too many mercenaries out there already. |
| We're kind of defined by our mistakes. |
| Success is fickle, but creativity is a gift. |
| I feel like I have the greatest life an artist could dream of. |
| Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively. |
| When it stops being fun, stop. |
| If music became extinct now, I don't know what I'd be good for. |
| Make sure you know what you are signing when you sign a recording contract. |
| We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals. |
| I wish I had a nickel for every song that I've left in the bathroom, written down on a matchbox, or just totally forgotten about. |
| I'm not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I'm too rough on instruments. |
| I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there. |
| I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching. |
| I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road. |
