I've literally become comfortable with approaching whatever style of music at any time.

I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but I just always knew that my career would be playing music.

I've been in fortunate position of never really having to battle with my record company to do the things I wanted to do in the studio.

My dad used to play drums in a country band, and my mom is an incredible singer.

I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.

I definitely have a firm, fixed idea of what compromise is for me.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.
