There are more than 300,000 families in the Gulf region that lost their homes and are waiting for peace of mind. The hurricane exposed the sad reality of poverty in America. We saw, in all its horrific detail, the vulnerabilities of living in inadequate housing and the heartbreak of losing one's home.
Sometimes you try a song and people don't respond, or you tell a story and you just hear crickets. But when you play thousands of shows, you start to refine stuff.
I always laugh at these rock n'rollers where you can't understand them. Mind you, it's not because they're inaudible or indistinguishable; it's because they're too obscure.
You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
You can't have a perfect show every time.
Well, my mother, I knew until I was 13. She died when I was 13.
The two are unrelated. I'm not into turtles or space stuff.
I have done songs here and there. But I have never scored a film. That is something I would like to do at some point.
I had tons of friends, played ball with my friends on the street, and did the normal things.
I don't want to say the same lines every night.
I don't ever feel the need to escape.
I'm having a lot of fun, enjoying my life and trying to raise my children.
All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
Before I had kids I'd go out on the road for months and months at a time, but now I don't think I'd want to do that anymore, because I'd miss too much time at home, so it's just a matter of monitoring how much work that I do and how much time I'm on the road.
