It's always good to walk in a room and know everybody kind of looks up to you because I guess I've earned it.

I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.

I've been around a long time, so I guess I've touched a lot of people's lives - hopefully for the better.

I've started working on a new album, I'm writing a new book... there are a lot of good things on the horizon.

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

The guys in my band are good friends on and off the stage. The band members that I have now is probably the best band that I have ever had.
