I wouldn't really say I'm a jazz guy, which I'm not.

I'm a survivalist and a survivor.

When I was a teenager, I was in an iron-lung.

If I write songs and I think they sound good, then that's it. That's what I do. I'm not a technical musician, which is fine for rock and roll.

I think if you don't have it [desire], you're not going to be pushed into anything. You've got to want to do something.

Women in stores will pull their children away from me sometimes so they won't catch the crazy Creed virus. Other folks are disappointed that I'm not that guy in person.

I wake up in the morning, or the middle of the night when an idea comes through. My songwriting style, basically I just write down information given to me from the muse and how that works for songwriters. Record the muse and the muse delivers.
