Be honest in your music.

There is a reality that this day and age is the digital era. Anybody can find anything they want.

People just want honest music.

Just do what you love.

Make music that you truly enjoy and it shows.

When there are rock festivals where there are sometimes 120,000 people and they're all sold out and they're epic, I think rock is alive and well, and hopefully it stays that way.

I just try and focus on having fun on the road and making the best music I can.

I love a little more driving rock and roll vibe and that kind of music has always spoke to me. I guess it just rubs off when I'm writing music.

The problem is when you write the album, you record all the instruments, you edit the whole thing and then you have to mix it. You start to get out of touch with the songs and it becomes math.

I still love the radio. I think the radio is still an important thing in music.

I've never been too worried about all the music critics and stuff.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

God hears every prayer.

He reads every book in his home but it is not enough. The country boy craves stories. He devours every poem and fable in his school and library. Still he hungers. For stories.

To the being of fully alive the future is not ominous but a promise it surrounds the present like a halo.

If you said good-bye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write.

I like my players to be married and in debt. That's the way you motivate them.

If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void.

Reconnaissance memoranda should always be written in the simplest style and be purely descriptive. They should never stray from their objective by introducing extraneous ideas.

This post of President is a Constitutional post. It is the duty of everyone, all citizens to see that they respect the post... the institution of President.

There are times when the best writing you can do is to go for a walk or drive, a long drive is ideal.
