I'm old-school. I want to be there to drop off my daughter at school and pick her up.

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

Dweezil and I are going on tour with the band probably starting in the middle of February for a month probably playing a few songs from my new record and then I'll continue on after that tour

Don't force things to happen.

I make sure to sleep eight hours, and I'm much better about eating, because I'm not standing in front of my pantry. I go to the market and pick up little carrot nubs.

I grew up with family who liked to travel and sightsee, so I have this pressure inside me: If I'm in a city and I have enough free time, I'd better go to a museum. I try to see parks, go outside. Or else try to feel really normal like go to Target or a drugstore, or go see a movie.

There are many different ways to look at a situation, and it's important to look at things the way they are.
