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

Everybody always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is. Words can never do the feeling justice.

If I was concerned about my legacy, there’s no way I would ever sit there [and be a reality-show judge]. Once your career becomes about some¬thing other than the music, then that’s what it is. I’ll never make that mistake.

I've played shows with injuries before but unfortunately cannot overcome having no voice.

Life doesn't get more real than having a newborn at home.

I don't care if I starve.

The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.
