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.

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

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.

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

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.

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