I wish my memory weren't so bad. They tell me it's from all the football and boxing and the concussions that I got.

There's a time where people were out holding posters in protest outside shows I was doing, and thankfully, we've moved past that. And a lot of country stations wouldn't play me. They were more conservative than I was.

I never was one to go into an office and write. For one thing, I had a job. I was cleaning the ashtrays and setting up the studios at Columbia for a couple of years and working every other week down in the Gulf of Mexico flying helicopters. I didn't really get to just write songs for about five years.

Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights.

When a man wants to relax, he will slob out and really relax. Or he will pursue a hobby - anything from building models to watching sport.

I wish football, as a culture, bred more than just a football player. It has the ability to be an incubator and transition players properly.

I coach a high school wrestling team and a middle school team. I consider myself a coach and an activist, so I'm really involved in the community.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
