Its true. Im a simple person. Some people tend to live from trauma to trauma, and that energizes them. I have a hectic schedule, but my mind seeks simplicity - like being in nature, a long bike ride, or sitting on the back porch.

I don't write songs that don't affect me on some level, because I figure if I am not moved by it, if its not something that I have a longing to celebrate or to be reminded of, if it doesn't affect me, then how can I possibly think it is going to affect somebody else. My touchstone is write something that matters.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

If it all just happened overnight, you would never learn to believe in what you cannot see.

I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.

I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. That's just the nature of life.

The people I've been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity.
