In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

I like unkempt; I don't mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.

I'm not interested in a persona.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.

I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.

How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they're thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?

Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.

I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.

All men are islands, surrounded by the bottomless oceans of unthinking night.

Let go into His arms untill you find yourself obsessed with things devine

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

That little white ball won't move until you hit it, and there's nothing you can do after it has gone.

Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove, brood o'er our nature's night; on our disordered spirits move, and let there now be light.

When I finally learned to let go of having to totally control everything around me and let my life unfold, I was stunned by the results. How could I have ever thought I could outsmart the Universe?

I've got a reason to believe we all be received in Graceland, Graceland, Memphis Tennessee.

Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms.

To say the truth, so Judas kissed his master And cried, 'All hail!' when as he meant all harm.
