It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
I hate fishing, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive.
'Cars' is a really personal story for me because, first of all, I grew up in Los Angeles - the car crazy capital.
The easiest and simplest thing that any one can do to make their car safer, more gas efficient, whatever - check the tire pressure.
I'm Jewish and my wife isn't so right now we're literally decorating a Christmas tree with Jewish stars draped around it.
I know that a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania is about the most random place for a country singer to come from, but I had an awesome childhood.
At Christmas, it's my siblings running around the house, we're cooking, talking, laughing, loud and just crazy. It's beautiful chaos.

The great thing about university is that they incline you to get up and do it, from the Classics to modern plays, to the humor that Monty Pythons made popular.
Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.

I don't know if I was funny as a child, though I always thought my parents really enjoyed listening to me sing.
And people are intrigued if I really am as grumpy in real life. People feel a bit let down if I'm laughing or smiling.
I think I probably tend to make life hard for myself by taking on too many things. I call it plate spinning.
Life's not fair, is it? Some of us drink champagne in the fast lane, and some of us eat our sandwiches by the loose chippings on the A597.
