My Dad Encouraged Anything I Wanted To

If You Can Go Out With Your Live Show And Turn People On To That, Where You Have That Fan Base That's Religious And They're Going To Come See You When You're In That Town, Once Your Radio Success Is Gone And You're Not A Mainstream Guy Anymore You Can Still Go Out And Play Your Shows.

I Don't Really Think That Audiences Are That Much Different. I Think That A Fan Is The Same Whether You Are From Here Or From Japan - You Come To A Show Because You Like The Music. I Don't Really See Much Of A Difference Anywhere.

I Think Great Songs Can Come From Anywhere And You Constantly Have To Be Able To Look Out For Those. I Think A Lot Of The Times People Will Try Too Hard To Write Everything Themselves And Therefor Miss Out On Great Songs That Way.

I Think Everybody Would Love To Say They Were In A Movie. Whether Or Not I'm Any Good At It, I Don't Know.

I Didn't Want My Records To Sound Like Anybody Else, And When I've Got My Guys In The Studio, I Have A Language With Those Guys Because We Work Together Every Day. A Lot Of Times, You Bring In Outside Guys, Studio Players, Whatever, And They're Great Musicians. It's Just That They Don't Necessarily Play The Way I Want It To Be Played.
