I'm not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.

When I was a kid, I went from ground zero to Pluto. The first place I played was the Houston Astrodome.

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.

I did plenty of crazy stuff, but I did a lot of charity stuff. You can't stop. You want to continue to taste, and sometimes that's crazy, stupid things.

I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.

Each song is a lifetime, it begins and ends, and there's a journey taken within the songs.

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.
