To me, my Dad's the greatest guy - next to Jesus Christ - who ever walked this planet. He's been that outstanding male role model in my life. And he's still the same guy I grew up around, very conscious of the image he sets forth. As he would say, 'Wouldn't do anything behind your back that I wouldn't do to your face.'

Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

Some sell their soul for the easy road. The devil's always buying. I can't count the ones I've known who fell right into line.
