I love it. I’d do it again any time, and I’m sure we’ll do it for other records. It was awesome. We met cool people and got some really good songs out of it.

Seriously, I thought it would be one of those things that would just come and go,

When I was in high school, I read all of Neil Simon’s plays.

If one of our faces wasn’t there, we’d probably quit.

It was fun. We both got a kick out of it.

Cracked Rear View’ was a phenomenon. You look at the records you consider creative of the ’90s and ‘Cracked Rear View’ sold more than all of them. That’s just one of those things. That’s just...

It was such a blur. All we saw was that the shows were getting bigger. It’s like people say, a lot of it is a timing thing. We came out at the right time.

I don’t think I get the respect as a singer. With this record, I wanted to bring respect to my band.

I’d work with Justin any time. I think he’s a great artist. I think our voices would be perfect together, with my baritone and his tenor, we’d be awesome.

I’m hoping the backlash is over. We’ve been going through that for the past eight years.

We wanted to have our own nice, small label that has respect in the industry. We’re really looking forward to the ride with them.

I just wanted to go out and make a record that I’ve always wanted to make since I was a kid.

Dave LaChapelle talked me into it, … I thought it was going to be no big deal, probably not too many people would see it. Then I was having a party during the Daytona 500,...

is always sold-out, and it’s always a lot of fun. There’s always something different.

I’ve known Tiger since he was 18. Tiger is a great guy. I am so happy for him right now.

We are grateful to our faithful fans and friends who helped us set a new donation record.

Our sound is a combination of a lot of influences,

It was important to me to find a label that wouldn’t back out after a first single. Everyone’s so used to hearing me with Hootie, they’re going to be skeptical.

We have a really extensive Web site,

Don is our George Martin,

On Valentine’s day, I’m doing a show with an orchestra. We’re doing a show with all standards for the Children’s Hospital in Charleston.

[The band] finished a tour a few months ago and now we’re sitting around and making babies, working on records, … I have a daughter, so no, I’m not making any babies! I’m just hanging...

We realized instantly it was going to be like that. People wanted to compare it to what we’d d done before. But are we going to complain about selling 16 million records? I don’t think...

We can’t thank Dave enough. He could call me if my wife was about to have a baby and tell me he needed tonight for his show and I’d find some way to get her...

People really seem to forget there’s people in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia who are there for a year or whatever, … In their hearts, they’re there to protect the people of America and what we...

We love to play. We’re good at what we do,

We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest...

I turned to my wife and said, ‘Honey, I’m in trouble.’

It’s more relaxing after 10 years of thinking that we’d never get a record deal. And after doing as well as the first record did, we feel like we can make records whenever we want....

We raised almost 2 million dollars at the last golf tournament that can be used for minority scholarships and Junior Golf programs. The payoff for the work we do is so much more valuable than...

And the age difference — you’ve got women in their late 50s and … kids just going into the sixth grade. The people that are Hootie fans are Hootie fans. They love us, and we...

It definitely won’t be a rock record, … If I wanted to make a rock record, I’d just do one with Hootie.

When I was growing up, I always knew that if I ever got anything, I was going to give back as much as I can. I learned that all you have to be willing to...
