I guess if you split the difference between the U.K. and the U.S., you would get Canada. But that's just due to proximity. Just because of distance, we get a lot more cultural spillover from America.
There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn’t some magical thing that just started happening.
It's more difficult to write a song about having your heart ripped out of your chest while you're in love. Because it lacks honesty. And the honesty comes through in the music, it really does.
Happy wife, happy life. I think every man learns that quick. Really quick.
Too many times I've heard records from bands who were obviously, like, 'Well, we're at least gonna do half as well as we did on our last record. At least we can count on that.' You really have to keep that initial hunger that made some of your first best songs your first best songs. You have to keep that fire in the belly.
I'll never be the best guitar player.
I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again.
I'm always at the opposite end of the spectrum, the opposite of hipster culture, and I enjoy that.
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars regardless of who you are

When I’m Chad from Nickelback, then I have to wear one hat and I have to wear various others when I’m Chad Kroeger who is co-owner of 604 Records or someone who’s working on an independent project. At that point I want to know where the record is getting licensed, as well as absolutely every aspect of how we’re going to deliver a song to the public and how we’ll all get paid for doing so.
We were a little scared of using piano. We just didn't think it was very rock and roll.
We're excited to be performing in Vegas and be able to reward lucky fans to play at this rockin' Poker event! ... We can't wait to feel the energy and excitement of playing for our Vegas fans.
