If I stopped touring tomorrow, it wouldn't change my life.

To me, when a great band is playing together, it's amazing for me.

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.

I have a great family, I live an amazing life.

We've been together since we've been teenagers. I can go away and disappear for two years, and when we get back together, it's like nothing ever has changed.

In our relationship, we don't have that situation. I don't require what he needs, and he doesn't require what I need. I know what I do; I have an amazing life that nobody knows about.

If I stopped touring tomorrow, it wouldn't change my life.

It's the music that brings us together.

The thing is, we've changed our style but we've never changed the actual roots of what we've done.

I like playing on stage, don't get me wrong.

You have to know when to strike and when to retreat.

Well, before we met I had heard and seen him sing so I knew he was good.

I do a lot of things behind the scenes. I do a lot of things that don't hit the headlines.

Swimming upstream in the music business is a hard thing to do.

Sometimes, it's just great to bring new people into the mix.

If something that needs to be done that we don't feel confronting, we do it through the manager.

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.

We collaborate together. We work with other people. We work by ourselves.

Well, because we're so different as people. And it's that difference that probably also makes it easy to stay together, because we don't get in each others way.

I couldn't begin to name names... in general I have found racers to be some of the most competitive people on the planet... and some of the nicest as well.

If Daryl stopped touring it would be a big part of him missing.

We should have an easier name to pronounce.

I think people were just starving for good material because they just weren't getting it on the radio.

I was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.

If it wasn't for music, I doubt whether we'd be friends.

I wish I could see over crowds and small groups of people.

'Maneater' is about N.Y.C. in the '80s. It's about greed, avarice, and spoiled riches.

A good mustache makes a man for many reasons.

Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.

Back in the early '90s, I started going to Nashville to do a lot of co-writes. One of the first people I met there was Keith Follese. Keith and his wife Adrienne are both songwriters, and we wrote some songs together.

Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' spread the gospel of American pop music and teenage style that transcended the regional boundaries of our country and united a youth culture that eventually spread its message throughout the entire world.

Having a mustache and never smiling became a permanent component of my persona through the quaintly self-important decade of the seventies.

I couldn't wait to grow a mustache. I stopped shaving my upper lip the day I graduated from high school.

I didn't make a solo album until the year 2000.

I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.

I have such a wide variety of tastes in things that I like musically.

I love what Alabama Shakes is doing - it's kind of like what grunge did to rock 'n' roll, they're doing to R&B.

I may just keep releasing singles 'til I run out of music, which is kind of cool in a way - as long as people don't go, 'Oh my God, not another one!'

I never finish a show without singing 'She's Gone.'

I realized if I'm not really making an album, I don't have to be concerned about things like stylistic consistency, pacing, a coherent mood. All that stuff goes out the window.

I sense people respond more to the honest approach to making music instead of the manufactured approach.

I think in music and a lot of creative fields, people's egos get in the way of their ability of seeing the big picture.

I think it's kind of difficult to write a good Christmas song because you have a narrow framework of references that you have to work within, and at the same time you want to do something that's personally original and hopefully somewhat unique.

I think social media is so important; the young bands have certainly embraced that and used that to their advantage.

I used to love assemblies because it got me out of class.

I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.

I'd like to do something with the Avett Brothers.

I'm an indie artist with major distribution, so one foot in the extreme major music business and one foot in the abyss of indie artists.

I'm bad at math.
