I see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

With the style of music that I do, I don't think it's at the top of their agenda to push me into doing any compromising material.

I love all kinds of different music.

I really enjoy what I do and have been fortunate to pursue basically whatever I'm feeling at the time.

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

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.
