I can't see going onstage wearing a long-sleeve shirt in the dead of summer. I work out hard during the day with a trainer who monitors everything I put in my mouth when I'm on tour. When I first got a record deal, you can tell by my early album covers that working out wasn't that much a part of my life.

I truly believe that music is the most powerful thing we have.

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

I learned from my mom that you should always try to enjoy life, no matter what.

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 hate my smile. I always have, even in my school pictures when I was a little kid.

I want to spend more time with my family.
