It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.

I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

I basically camped out for a year and a half in an Airstream trailer on the beach out in front of the studio. I had no idea what I was gonna do, what kind of album I was gonna make - all I knew was that I wanted to sit there and just take in whatever came.

That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.

I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.
