I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

In Scotland, beautiful as it is, it was always raining. Even when it wasn't raining, it was about to rain, or had just rained. It's a very angry sky.

And I mean, I'm established. So I'm not worried about having a hit at this point in my career.

Every new rule, mandate, and regulatory edict is one more obstacle that small business owners, entrepreneurs, and job creators have to swallow.

I feel like, to have a career as an artist, you don't need to meet the same criteria as you do to win a singing competition. They're two very different animals.

If I believe that I became the best quarterback that I could possibly be, the best football player that I could possibly be... That's how I'm going to measure my career as a success or not.
