I loved going on the road... I think that's something everybody ought to experience one day - not necessarily as an artist, but just to get out and see the country.

Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.

The road, lyric-wise, is a trap, and a bore. Maybe it's interesting to me, but I don't think it's a connecting thing with other humans. What is there to write about? Truck stops, hotels, clubs?

Writing on the road is a passion of mine.

Traveling to Europe and traveling in the U.S.A. was a much different experience. 'On the Road' exemplified everything glamorous that was happening on this side of the planet. The book puts off some kind of sweet melody - part hope for the world, part nostalgic.

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

To me, this is the most awesome kind of art. When the music is right, everybody is as much a part of the art.

There's something so satisfying about road trip movies - and books!

For me, the source material can come from anywhere. It can be a poem, it can be a dream, it can be a movie, as long as the end part of it is interesting - that's what it's about for me.

Good taste is the first refuge of the non-creative. It is the last-ditch stand of the artist.
