The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

I wake up at 5:30, 6 in the morning, but don't head into the office right away. I like to hang out with my wife, talk about things, get some coffee, you know.

The movie industry is one big collaboration. Music gives me that freedom to create things straight from my heart and my mind.

People wanted to have fun more than they wanted to learn from their music, and that's where the shift started to happen.

As far as producing, once we started shooting, I soon realized where the critical decisions about the movies were really being made, and it wasn't on the set. They were being made in the production meetings. That's where producing a movie happens. And that's where I wanted to be. I didn't just want to be a piece, a pawn being played. I wanted to take part in the creative process, and that's how I sort of got introduced to the idea.

If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there's nothing better than breaking through. There's no better feeling than breaking through.

I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.
