I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all.

Got your mind set on a dream, you can get it though how hard it may seem.

Everyone needs to realize why am I here? It comes in everyone's life; you ask why am I here? What am I doing? Once you are able to answer that question for yourself honestly, you have smooth sailing.

And I keep on fighting for the things I want. Though I know that when you're dead you can't. But I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave.

If I don't channel pain into a song, I play my guitar or play the piano or play my drums, or go swimming.

I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.

Certain artists have a role to echo the echoes of the people and that's what I'll be doing on my next album.
