There were [in 21] all those times in my life that I didn't know this was going to happen. I didn't know if anybody was going to care about our music.

I like to rock and roll, but I'm a mushy guy, too. I want to be the guy that all the girls love and all the guys want to hang out with.

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

When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.

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 needed to be pushed as an artist and as a person.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm a helluva kisser.
