Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.

Believe it or not, I want to keep growing my audience.

When I try to brush the road dust off of me and untangle all the wires in my head, I'm usually surrounded by music on a boat. But that's not how I wake up every day.

There's this idea that somebody's job could be more important than somebody else's, and to me, that's not true.

There's this emotion we all feel of being overwhelmed at times, feeling that you can't get ahead. For me it's self-imposed because I'm so driven and I'm always going from project to project.

I think people need to live their lives the way they want to, but I'm pretty confident in the fact that I love girls. I've got a long line of girls who could testify that I am not gay.

It was satisfying to take a risk and see it pay off.
