When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.

I always wanted to make a children's album because you have the freedom to explore so many wonderful topics and sounds.

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

Some people train for certain sports and I want to train to be able to hold a super heavy electric guitar and carry luggage around myself because I always have to have 7,000 pairs of shoes. Who cares about sports?

In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.
