I was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking.
Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was 'Romeo & Juliet'? How long were they together? A few days.
I've been speaking at churches for years, as well as juvenile jails, rehabs and hospitals, and I always talk about my faith. That is a declaration of my relationship with God.
Whether people like it or not, China is incredibly important to the future of mankind. For me, this is something that we all need to have intelligent discussions about in America, in Britain, in Europe.
In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.
Nonetheless, I sense that it will be the task of the future to somehow synthesize the sheer diversity of our present resources into a more organic and well-ordered procedure.
All you have to do is drive by the empty tennis courts and basketball courts and compare them to the skate parks... c'mon people, get with the program - the future is now!
APA is another evolution in my career; they have unique vision and share my goals for the future. I look forward to expanding our horizons together.
I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense.
My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.
I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.
I've never followed a list in my life, and that's probably what has created so much nervous energy in my body.
I draw inspiration from anything and everybody and that's what country music is to me... real life stories and real life emotions.
Just because I grew up a white guy in America doesn't mean that's the music of my life.
I love things that are harsh and things that are too loud. And I love lulling people into a false sense of security. That's life.
I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.
I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.
I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.
You have to let it all hang out, let go of the ideas that were more comfortable and embrace some of the sadness in your life.
It's really weird seeing someone impersonating you. But at the same time, Vic Reeves' impersonation of me is one of the highlights of my life.
But you have to give your whole life to a cello. When I realized that, I went back to the guitar and just turned the volume up a bit louder.
