I think I feel vulnerable most of the time. I feel on guard. I've gotten pretty good at putting my fists down and kind of allowing the world to be, so that I don't feel threatened as much.

Staying present and staying myself in the midst of others is important.

The only way I get back to my center is either by talking to my wife or by spending time by myself.

I like interacting with human beings, so being on stage feels like a larger version of that - kind of like throwing a party. It's like knocking into the human collision of everyday life and it just so happens to break down the wall between the audience and me and helps the songs communicate better.

I know that human beings are better together than they are apart, as much as I fought that all my life.

I just want my kid to not hate and to be a good human. That's what you try to do. You hope that they are the next evolution of your thing.
