I've learned that love takes priority.

The most rewarding thing of my success has been the ability to use my music for many different causes that have become important to me.

I was able to truly immerse myself in the record-making process. I'm excited about music.

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.

Musically, there's probably nothing better than, after spending weeks or months of grinding on a lyric or a song, when you play a good song from beginning to end for the first time - there's a moment there where all the pain and suffering is worth it.

Once you have kids and you're married, it's all about them. My life changed. You can see in my records.
