The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.
Well, in America people know us. We've got it made there, but in Europe people don't know us. We've got to win them over and that's a challenge.
You know, America loves the underdog and I'm no longer the underdog, so if people are going to start taking shots at me, I'm ready for that.
The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.
There's nothing better than seeing people you know being able to work and support their families. Knowing you have a little hand in it? Now, that really makes you feel good.
Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.
I know Huntington and people like the kid mayor and Don (Maynard) the police man. I know Don and his wife and kids, and he was promoting our shows when we were nothing. And there's people like that in so many towns that have been so good to you.
Being married sucked. Maybe for some people it is not meant to be.
I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice.
I don't sit in my room and hide the whole time. I think people know my spirit is real.
Of course I want people to show up to the concerts and I am sure for that to decline would be a difficult thing.
I think more and more people are starting to understand that you can't believe half of everything you read or what you see. There are so many information outlets that are available that it's almost too much, there is so much misinformation out there.
Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.
I'm in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they're great musicians and people. But I'm most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids.
