I've also been writing for other artists, producing other artists, doing some country stuff. Those lyrics I tend to leave more universal.

I first met Hanson over in Japan and they gave me some great advice about the fans and they seem real down to earth. They're great.

I quickly learned to take anger and use it to motivate me. My sister ran away from home, and she was my world. And that was that. The guitar became my world.

Twenty years from now, I hope I'm consistently in my life, in the zone. I have seen the next year before.

I think people are basically unhappy working their jobs, and we all need to have that thing that gets our juices flowing.

I want to embrace all of this: touring, going to Europe, Canada, Australia. I want to travel the world, just have a great hang, and hopefully, be a messenger.

You don't realize 'till you get here what a moment in history you're a part of.
