My son is the reason why I write music. He's the reason why everything is different for me. Because when he came into the picture, my priorities changed.

I want to have the relationship with him that me and my father never had.

I have received 16 Grammy nominations and I have no trophies, because I chose to write the harsh realities. I stayed true to myself and I've taken a little beating behind it.

Move before you think you are ready. It is as if you are making it a little more difficult for yourself, deliberately creating obstacles in your path When you feel that you must work harder to get to your goal because you are not quite prepared, you are more alert and inventive.
