Love isn't love until you give it away.

I've been there and done all that, sold millions of records, and that doesn't bring you peace.

I'm always trying to challenge everyone to raise the game on the artistic level. We are supposed to be the best. Make sure we don't get complacent or comfortable, and always trying to push the limit on trying to write great songs. At the end of the day it's why we do what we do.

But I know God has big stuff planned that ultimately doesn't have anything to do with me.

So I'm taking a stand-and I hope others will-to really live what I believe and embrace who I am in Jesus Christ.

I think The Big Picture was such a huge shift from my second record.

Doing the instrumental thing, you're really looking for the power of the melody to carry the record.
