Record Labels Today Are Much Less Patient:

I'm Dating A Girl Who's Pretty Levelheaded. She's A Nurse. She's A Real, Normal Girl. Which Is What I Need Because My Life Isn't Normal.

I Live On A Boat Two Months Out Of The Year, And If I Did Not Have That Then I Don't Know How I'd Be Able To Handle All This.... I Am A Very Intense Person On Stage. I Have To Remember Why I Am There, What I Am Doing. You Can Spend All Day Backstage Preparing For The Show And Lose Sight Of Why You Are Doing This. Off Stage, I Am A Very Simple Kind Of Guy. I Live My Life In Flip-flops.

When I Try To Brush The Road Dust Off Of Me And Untangle All The Wires In My Head, I'm Usually Surrounded By Music On A Boat. But That's Not How I Wake Up Every Day.

You'd Think I'd Have Been Happiest In My Life Playing Music In Front Of 50,000 People At Gillette Stadium. But Let Me Tell You, It's An Odd Feeling To Feel Alone In The Spotlight.

What Good Is It If A Guy Can Sing Real Good But He Sits On His Ass And Doesn't Make Anybody Feel Anything? I Can Connect With An Audience Every Time I Play. When I Sing, They Listen.
