I'm really lucky to have some super-talented friends.

My first place in Nashville was like Animal House. The whole band lived under one roof, and most nights the jam sessions ended close to sunrise.

My best friend from college engineered my record. He and I keep in touch on just a purely one-music-fan-to-another basis.

Playing the Opry, when I get the opportunity - it's one of the coolest honors for any musician in any genre, but especially for a country musician.

War is a grim, cruel business, a business justified only as a means of sustaining the forces of good against those of evil.

It (suicide) became a possibility like Maybe when I grow up, I will be dead. Life was a cake that looked good on the bakery shelf but turned to sawdust and salt when I ate it.

The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters; creation is all.

Look not to a woman's head for her brains, but rather to her heart.
