Bob Seger Was A Huge Inspiration.

If I Was Concerned About My Legacy, There’s No Way I Would Ever Sit There [and Be A Reality-show Judge]. Once Your Career Becomes About Some¬thing Other Than The Music, Then That’s What It Is. I’ll Never Make That Mistake.

We're All Given A Window Of Opportunity, I Think All Artists Are, Of Any Genre. A Window When You're Truly Relevant, The Spotlight's On You And People Are Watching What You Do.

I Think Too Many People, If You Are 46 You Want To Look 36, And If You're 36 You Want To Look 26. I Didn't Want To Do That. I've Earned The Gray Hairs. So I Wanted To Show That Level Of Honesty.

I Want To Be The Guy Out There On The Edge.

The Most Important Thing For Me As An Artist Is Having An Identity.
