“I was a young boy. A stock car guy used to live across the street from us. He'd work on his car, and both of my older brothers became gearheads.”

“I've completely embraced life in Florida after growing up in the Midwest. This is home for me.”

“I remember Robert Plant coming backstage after the first show saying, 'Hey, boys, I should be opening for you.' That felt pretty good.”

“I think all of our records are a progression of some sort.”

“Country music is worldwide - it's not just Nashville and Texas.”

“We've always been kind of an underground band in a way that had the respect of our peers on the road. I like to say we're the world's most famous opening act because we've opened for every huge band on the planet.”

“'Dream Police' was in the can and ready to go when 'Budokan' started taking off worldwide, sales-wise.”

“Each record is sort of like a brand new baby, where it's your favorite thing at that moment in time.”

“I'm a casual F1 racing fan. I'm probably more of a stock car, NASCAR guy.”

“I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.”

“We keep some distance between ourselves when we're not working. I think that's a really good thing.”

“Nobody forced me to look any way. I just exaggerated what was already there.”
