I don't use the big video screens that a lot of other artists use because personally, I think it's kind of a crutch. I think sometimes it's like watching television as opposed to really getting involved with what is happening onstage and the people in your section.

As far as writing, it's grown because I've really grown comfortable with who I am.

I think too many people, if you are 46 you want to look 36, and if you're 36 you want to look 26. I didn't want to do that. I've earned the gray hairs. So I wanted to show that level of honesty.

I want to be the guy out there on the edge.

I've always made music that was representative of real life.

I wouldn't be the man I am today, If not for those I've loved along the way

The evolution of the music is what allows it to survive.
