Music's My Medication.

I Was On One Bus With My Band And Crew For Seven Years. I Didn't Come To Town With A Karaoke Tape. I Didn't Get On A Tv Show. There Were No Shortcuts. Anybody Who Wants To Follow My Model Is Welcome To It. You Don't Want To Follow My Path.

Certain Nights, When Everything's Perfect And We Have Thousands Of People Partying Their Asses Off, I Break My Rule And Have A Drink Onstage. I've Never Done A Show Drunk. Well, I Take That Back. In The Early Days I Did.

I Love The Fact That I Can Go Out There On Stage With A Guitar And Sing A Song That Means Something To Somebody.

I Think It Is Possible To Be Friends With Employees, But There Has To Be A Respect Level Where You're Not Taken Advantage Of, Either.

I Can Say That I Don't See Myself With The Foot On The Gas Pedal As Hard As It's Been Down For 16 Years.
