I'm in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they're great musicians and people. But I'm most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids.

I've got friends who didn't vote. I want to smack them upside the head.

Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music.

I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do. And at the end of the day, whether it works or not, I can say I tried my best.

I don't sit in my room and hide the whole time. I think people know my spirit is real.

I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is.

I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do.
