Playing a concert for 2 hours is pie. I would do that every minute of every day if I could. I love to perform. It's the 22 hours before the next show that kills you.

But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody.

I collect cars and bikes. One of my most special rides is a black 1930s Cadillac V16, and then I've got a few West Coast choppers.

I do not understand rehab. If it works for people, then God bless them.

When you're on TV in America, the girls love you. I'm not complaining.

The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.

My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.

Knowing so many people like myself who are singers and in traveling bands, the people you're in a relationship with feel slighted because they feel you're giving all your energy to your fans, and there's a lot of truth to that.

My goal is to get quieter as I get older.

I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.

The program director at a radio station, by the way, is not the superstar. If he was a superstar, he'd be out creating songs, but he's not. But he wants to act like he has control and power.

Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music.

I see the people in Detroit are very - they're like a lot of cities, but they're very proud to be from there and they really want to see change and they really want to see good things happen.

A common man, even like myself, I don't know how to pay my taxes.

There's so many examples of just how lucky we are to be born anywhere in this world that is free.

People love to hate other people.

But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining!

I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, I'm not that smart of a guy.

When I was making my first record there would be something that would come out that would inspire you, you know? You'd see someone on TV or on the radio.

Money's really - you know, song writing, yes, there's money to be made and things like that. But really, when you talk about the real money, you talk about touring. No question.

I have nightmares that I'm going to wake up, and everyone's driving a Prius and living in a condo, and we're all getting health insurance.

I've got my own studio, so I sit in my studio writing and if I get a great take, that's the take.

I don't read books. I like to read newspapers and magazines, but I've never learnt to enjoy books or novels.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.
