The music has to drive you. That's just it. You follow it. You follow the songs.
The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.
I think that the process of making music is a hard one to describe as well.
I refused to wear make-up on TV. I wanted my music to be heard.
A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music.
I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.
One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.
I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.
We would turn everything into songs in those days.
I have never had another job and I don't have a mortgage.

You don't have to find out you're dying to start living.
It's really simple: Try to make people happy.
The way I look at it you can always get better.
'Deadwood' was an incredible experience.
My mother is a beauty.
I like to write poetry.
