It's tough enough to have a relationship, and it hurts enough to have it not work.

My mom and my real father divorced before I was one. My mom and my stepfather divorced when I was in high school. Then she fell in love with a guy, and the guy died. That was a rough time. She has handled adversity well. That's where I got my work ethic. So my mother's where I got my love of music, but my father's where I got my athletic ability. And my hair loss. And my love of women.

I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.

I didn't have any clue as to what true marriage meant. I was so used to committing to one thing - music - and then I had to totally commit to a second thing, marriage. I didn't know how to commit to both of them. It was a scary moment for me.

It's tough enough to have a relationship, and it hurts enough to have it not work.
