People who tend to listen to my music have come back and said, 'Yo, this is my anthem. This is what I live by.'

You know, being an entertainer is partly being on the road, and a lot of your songs come from the road.

To go on the road and see people sing my own lyrics back to me is just fantastic.

Crowds respond to anthemic choruses.

It's such a rush doing a concert and seeing people actually mouthing the lyrics.

It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.

Some of the wise boys who say my music is loud, blatant and that's all should see the faces of the kids who have driven a hundred miles through the snow to see the band... to stand in front of the bandstand in an ecstasy all their own.

These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.

I love a good road trip. And I have been known to sing cheesy '80s songs at the top of my lungs on a windy road when no one can hear.

When an audience comes to one of my concerts, I hope they'll see themselves, somewhere, in one of the songs.
