perception responsible
What I had to learn was, that I'm responsible for my perception of things.
singing fans plant
I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.
dad artist done
Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist.
tired fighting looks
It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.
kind felt
In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over.
rocks rock-and-roll water
I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.
atlanta journal
I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.
stars thinking rocks
How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they're thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?
thinking stuff details
I think that some of the best Crowes stuff we did had that spontaneous vibe. Thats something thats always interested me in music. Im not really the kind of person to get too bogged down in the details. I think that takes away from the emotion and the vibe of what youre doing.
dad father years
If you had told me at 45 years old that I would have to go on tour to get rest, I would've said, 'That's not how it works.' But nothing can be more gratifying. I'm a very hands-on dad.
not-interested persona
I'm not interested in a persona.
thinking people mind
I like unkempt; I don't mind if I have holes in my jacket or whatever. I think people should look more the way they feel.
beautiful interesting together
Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.
cultural experience kids mainstream presented sort street
The counterculture has nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana having a 'Hippy Summer' or something. Street kids, and kids who want to live in any sort of counter-cultural experience other than what's being presented by the mainstream media or political climate, or 'normal' cultural climate, are never going to look like that.
