I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.

Even when I'm touring, I feel like a sideman ... everybody's working together. We get to play longer solos it's not just Here's the record! Thank you for coming Goodnight ... it has always had a band feel instead of being a singer and his backup band.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

At the end of the day, all people want to do is hear a great singer sing a great song. They don't care about what vocal changes it went through. You can't screw up a great song and a great singer.

My mom said, What I want is a happy kid, not a rich kid. That's what I root for. She saw how much joy I got from playing music, and those years were leaner than lean!

My last two records that I made were both quite pointed in one direction and I think I do my best stuff when it's all over the map, when there's a couple traditional things, a couple pretty rocking things.

I'm a musician, so for the most part I've always thought that the musicians were equally as inspiring to listen to - maybe more so, in some cases - in addition to the artists.

I would love to hear someone write a song like 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' rather than 'You're hot. I'm hot. We're in a truck.' It's just mind-numbing to me.

A lot of people play to impress, but the really gifted ones play to move. That's the greatest point of ever doing this.

I do not like being famous. I like being normal.
Vince Gill

When I look back, I don't remember the best of the best. I don't remember arena shows with 20,000 people. I remember funky little bar gigs where nobody shows up. The weirdest of the weird are what you retain.

It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am.

It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.

Through music you learn not to care about the color of someone's skin.
