When I see everyone doing the same thing, I want to do the opposite.

I think, honestly, that ego makes you most vulnerable. When you are in humility you are much more comfortable, open and okay with BEING vulnerable, whereas the ego is the protecter, and even though you think you're protecting, I think you are more vulnerable if you're in ego.

I've never been a flag waver, but I can lead by example.

I think I'm probably going to have more luck on tour, on the road, than I am at home, because as hectic as traveling can be, I have a little bit more control, for life situations out there on the road. It's the one aspect of my life I feel like I do have some control of. I can wake up in my hotel room, I'm alone and I can ease into the day and do what I need to do. It's not like I've got to get up and drive the kids to school, feed the dog, get to the gym, go to practice, go pay a bill, you know what I mean?

Best things in life aren't things.

No one would barbecue their family dog. Why is a cow or a pig or a chicken different?

As time goes on you are given responsibility and other things to deal with. You become a husband and a father and there's another shirt of stuff.
