Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.

Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there's something good about feeling both.

To me, it's all about the song. Songs are what make me excited. You hear a great song and you want to record it or get a great idea and you want to write it.

I count myself really fortunate that I have some lifelong friends. The best thing about a friend is when you are being your own worst enemy a friend can help snap you out of it.

Man hurts man, time and time again. As we drown in the wake of our power, somebody tell me why?

I write about everything, but I just - how faith filters through all that and colors your opinion of other people and life and all that.

The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.
