I always tell people that my primary job is being a dad and husband. Music is just what pays the bills.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I still have a lot of passion for music, but I would quit it tomorrow if that's what my family needed me to do. I'm sure I'd miss it, but it's a job.

I keep a pretty tight grip on my schedule and I compare it a lot to a fireman's - a four-on then four-off type of deal.

I'd like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

I put everything in God's hands, asking him to give me strength and understanding. I asked him to help me to be strong for my family and that he would continue to take care of us. One day, shortly after that, I woke up really inspired.

I just never gave anything else much thought after music. I just hope that I'm doing what God intended me to do, and that's all.
