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.

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

I've learned that love takes priority.

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

If prolific is writing a lot of songs, I'm that. If it's writing a lot of good songs, I'm something else.
