My life is part humor, part roses, part thorns.

You want to go to a summer concert and not watch a band staring at its shoes for six hours and complaining.

We were in Greenville, South Carolina, where he lived, and he was coming the next day to the show, but he passed away the night before. I was very close to my grandfather. He was the first guy to teach me how to ride a motorcycle, so (his death) meant a lot to me. It just gave me a perspective on life and how important it is to live it and enjoy it while we're here. Sometimes we're looking for the grass to be greener, and what's awesome is right in front of you.

I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.
