Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

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

As soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, 'I'm voting for this guy!' – I go, 'That's not who I'm voting for!'

I've always had a love of country music.

You know, I guess there's enough information out there to support that I'm a crazy, wild dude and rock and roll and this, that and the other. And there's enough information to support that, you know, I'm a single father, that, you know, has been a pretty standup guy in his community and pretty private about that stuff. But it's on both sides.

Whatever your craft is, be a master of it. Being half assed at something, people will eventually see through.

I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.
