Usually it is a painful process (writing), "Superman" came in 45 minutes; "100 Years" in four months.

As a songwriter, I think that comes with the territory. The older you get, you like to say it doesn't matter, but you care what people think about what you do.

I've learned that love takes priority.

In so many of my songs, I'm trying to touch on various aspects of love.

I'm a family guy. A lot of my songs are inspired by my kids. Simple relationships. Watching them grow up, watching them share experiences with me and vice versa.

I'm excited about the old songs. That's a nice place to be after grinding out the music business for twenty years.

As a sports fan, the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup makes me feel very alive.
