If I wasn't in broadcasting I would like to grow a gigantic beard; and I would like to open a motorcycle garage somewhere in the desert in Nevada and I would disappear and work on bikes, make them really fast. I would love to just race motorcycles for a living if I could do it, but I'm just not that good at it so this is what I'm doing.
I never wanted to live a relatable life, I wanted to live an aspirational life. I didn't want to see people who had my life on TV. I wanted to see other lives, right, and so I was always trying to get as much of that stuff as I could.
You have to trust the people who work with you and hire, but also listen to as many smart people as you can.
I am who I am: I have my life experiences and my professional experiences.
If an interview just serves the idea of celebrity, then I think that sucks. I don't want to do that.
Guns are part of the Constitution, and no one is willing to have that tough conversation with Congress and the Senate and the president to say maybe that's got to change. People talk about it - but I mean actual change.
You watch Bono in a room - and we're talking about a room of thousands swarming around him - he'll take every single person and make that moment about them. You can pat him on the back or pull his arm, he's not looking away from the person he's talking to.
I don't ever have the opportunity to wear a suit.
I don't have a real plan when I do an interview. I have some themes that I want to hit. But I don't have a set list of questions that I knock off.
I have sort of a life in Los Angeles.
I only do what I love, when I love, how I love to fill up the time.
I operate with an emotional fearlessness, and I really feel music; I really feel songs.
I'm looking for conversations that will be meaningful with people that want to have meaningful connections with an audience.
It's a dream for me to work with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry as well as my old friend Jeff Marek, who I started my career with.
