No matter who you meet in life, you take something from them, positive or negative.

If you're truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time, there's a family bond that you have. In fact, I've talked about this with therapists, especially if you're talking about a relationship, because when you're with somebody, you're going to your family, and she's alone.

I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.

I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through.

It's always performing for me. I write and I record so I can perform. It all ties to that. I've done it since I was a little kid. That's my absolute rush, is playing for different people every night, bringing something else to the table they've never seen.

My goal is to hit the gym every day I'm on vacation. Usually I just end up sleeping and drinking beer.

I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you.
