Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.
I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
Most of the time, I'm here in Michigan and I'm taking out the garbage every Monday.
If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
Every now and then you'll nail one that's really, really special. And that's what you live for.
I never say never, because I don't want to be one of those guys.
For a long time, I thought when you do a box set, you're giving up; you're saying, 'OK, I don't have anything left.' But now I've listened to some of the old stuff I haven't heard in 20 to 40 years with fresh ears. It's like, 'Oh yeah, I can see where people might want to to hear some of this stuff that didn't make it onto the records.'
I'm not a tour rat. I'm not crazy about it.
Great sex is wonderful while it's happening, but who remembers great sex they had in 1983?
My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.
The most famous rumor for me is that I had throat cancer. I never had throat cancer... I don't know why that started... The way I sing, probably.
I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler.
Yeah, I'm just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I'm very healthy in that regard.
I am trying to write stuff that is different. I am a big science fan. I read a lot of science, and 'Wonderland' has a lot of science in it. I don't know. They are hard to describe... We are living in a wonderland age of science.
