Days go by like a hand out the window in the wind!
I remember one night crawling around on my hands and knees, looking for these little rocks at 5 in the morning. It was the worst.
I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays, I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Everybody needs somebody sometimes.
If it's a real dream it's uncrushable.
It's something I've always loved doing. I'm not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I'm there every second of every day. That's my hands-on situation.
My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.
I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.
I tend to write better when I'm not touring.
Someone said one time, 'If your marriage isn't your priority, you're not married,' and I thought, for me that's so true. So as long as I keep her as a priority, everything else sort of seems to work. And when I don't keep it as a priority, it's ... Jenga.
Nothing like seeing the genesis of the relationship between an instrument and a child.
There are certain songs that are sacred. People want to hear them just as they are in their head; they don't want you messing around with them. And then there are some other songs, if they've been around a long time in our set list, that I think we can take some creative liberties with.
Red carpets are pretty unpredictable. You can go from one person asking you what you're wearing to the next person asking you about the situation in Haiti. It's the extreme juxtaposition, and some of the questions can throw me!
