My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.

Being a parent is not just about how you treat your child; it's also about how you treat the other parent. If you treat that person with respect, that's fine, that's the way to go. But if you don't, you're not being the parent you could be.

A lot of people do not like singer-songwriters, and a lot of people who like them do not like hard rock. It's either-or.

Forgiveness is hard for me, man. It is for most American-Western males. It's a sign of weakness.

You dont have control of the car, but you can drive it. Life takes you where it wants you to go and where you need to go.

I've always cared about the world. That's never been an issue. But with learning how to smile, it's been learning how to feel comfortable within my own skin, and to feel accepted, and to feel empowered, and to feel worthy.

My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives.
