Am I ever going to be able to play football again? What's going on with my career? I was just thinking things like that. You've got tears going down your eyes.

Sheryl Crow. I loved her 'Tuesday Night Music Club.' She expressed her own point of view, and she wasn't trying to be like anyone else, and I loved that. That's been the thinking of all my favorite artists.
