Sometimes you try a song and people don't respond, or you tell a story and you just hear crickets. But when you play thousands of shows, you start to refine stuff.
I always laugh at these rock n'rollers where you can't understand them. Mind you, it's not because they're inaudible or indistinguishable; it's because they're too obscure.
You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
You can't have a perfect show every time.
Well, my mother, I knew until I was 13. She died when I was 13.
The two are unrelated. I'm not into turtles or space stuff.
I had tons of friends, played ball with my friends on the street, and did the normal things.
I'm having a lot of fun, enjoying my life and trying to raise my children.
All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
Before I had kids I'd go out on the road for months and months at a time, but now I don't think I'd want to do that anymore, because I'd miss too much time at home, so it's just a matter of monitoring how much work that I do and how much time I'm on the road.
Everything that I have professionally, and so much of what I have personally, is because of this great, fair city, and to see it being drowned like this is almost unbearable.
I practice and work hard at my music, but I'm not saving lives here.
I have those dreams that you can't put into words.
I couldn't have been luckier with my parents.
