“I'm always champing at the bit to try everything new. It's a terrible quality that I have.”
“It's important to have people who will say to you that you're really off the beaten track.”
“I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.”
“I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don't really know anymore.”
“It's about the journey and the process. I do things because I love doing them, or trying them.”
“After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.”
“Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.”
“I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.”
“No matter how I do this, my best songs have profanity in them.”
“I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.”

“I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.”
“My career has been riddled with controversy, which I never fully understand.”
