I grew up in a family full of yellers. People screaming and chaos goin' on, I feel right at home in it. I've really worked on myself with anger management. I try to save that for the stage.

Success to me is being able to do what I love, make a living at it and to support myself and the ones I love.

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.

I just wanna be a rock star!

My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.

I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories.

If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.
