The beauty is that it's all a part of this wonderful dream I had in college. It's beautiful to see what it's turned into. It's the journey that I'm most proud of.

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

I think that in the last four or five years I've constantly struggled with the balance in my life.

I have 120 employees on the road every day, and about 30 other employees off the road.

I want there to be a level of respect between everybody.

First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.

I felt as a human being I needed to take a pause and reflect on a lot of stuff that's happened. That was really good for me. And to get some of the ringing out of my years from all the amps on stage.
