I don't enjoy being on stage that much... I don't know what it is, I'm not sure, I just don't feel comfortable with it...but what happens is, some of it's so uncomfortable up there that it forces me to do things that are beyond my natural ability.

I remember our first real gig was my sister's 16th birthday party. We didn't really have any singers, none of us could sing.

We have spent almost 10,000 nights on the road, and when you get out on stage you lose perspective on real life. I mean, I've stayed in 10,000 hotels, but I don't know how to check into a hotel. I've driven tons of rental cars, but I don't know how to rent a car. I wrote a check the other day for a guitar and I got it all wrong, because I never have to write checks.

I am married, and she is very understanding. I couldn't have found anybody better. We don't spend more than two and a half weeks at a time away, we're pretty family oriented that way.

Before I go on stage I'm about an inch off throwing up. I didn't used to be nervous, it's just when I have to be out in front singing. But I don't mind it; it keeps me in check, makes me feel vulnerable and brings something out in me.
