I learned real fast that you need to have a plan of action when changing diapers, or it can get dicey fast.
I'm a blues guy at heart, so silly music isn't generally what I do. I'm a I'll-cry-as-my-guitar-gently-weeps kind of guy.
Songwriting is a big deal to me.
Life is short, so there is no reason why you shouldn't live it to the fullest expression of yourself.
I try to cross as many genres as possible with the same attitude. I want every song to be very clear.
I got into writing short stories and blogs while on the road.
I can play in front of 30,000 people at Fenway and not be nervous at all. But I get really nervous in front of kids.
We never think about how many awards we've won. We just want to make the best music we can.
We listen to so many different types of music, so it's easy for us to play a different genre or style and it be true to what we do.
We can be whatever we want to be. We can be a country band if we need to be. We can be a rock band if we need to be.
The tour is like our bread and butter. You don't really get to experience the band unless you see us live.
Stylistically, we do so many different things.
Just to be part of the history of the Hollywood Bowl - so many people have played there; at least, all of my heroes have.
Once you start getting into giving back, it gets addictive.
We are all big Motown fans.
I like music that not only has a pop melody to it but is also deeply about something.
We try not to think that our listeners are one-track-minded people with the music they listen to.
It's kind of a Catch-22. The more successful you get, the less normal you get.
I made a promise to be as creative as I could, even outside of music.
Whether there's 100 people or 100,000, we bring our 'A' game every single time. We're full-speed on stage. We kick the audience's butt.
The recipe to our success is that you have a bunch of different guys who listen to a lot of different music.
We're able to play different genres and be very specific in sounding like we know what we're doing.
If they keep playing us on country radio and we get to keep doing cool stuff like playing with Willie Nelson, that's great.
We pride ourselves on being great songwriters.
Pearl Jam's 'Alive' is the reason I started to play music.
The 'Will Powers' story is like my life to a certain degree.
I can't think of anything more important than a kid being sick and making them laugh and making that whole experience a little easier.
I don't usually suggest going into something you cannot do, but sometimes you gotta jump in and land on your feet.
I was raised on nothing but love and support.
I'm grateful for being able to explore different avenues of my writing, whether it be music or stories, and it have an audience.
