You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

You know, if Kelly Clarkson wants to do country albums because that’s what inspires her, then let her do it. Look at Kanye West or Ludacris ... they aren’t rappin’ and cussin’ like they were on their first few albums, so what does that make them? It’s all in the eye of the beholder and the listener. We all use our outlet to grow ourself.

I think it's always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That's how 'Apologize' was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I've always really liked that song.

Nothing is more rewarding than to take a song, create it out of thin air and then watch it affect people.

You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.

I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.

Our crew guys, it's amazing what they have to go through to make a show happen every night.
