I do know that love, whether you're giving it or receiving it, or both, it is the ultimate healer.

I feel that if you're in the public eye in any way that you do have a little bit of influence on people.

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

Stop contemplating and start celebratingYeah, you gotta live before you die.

I wake up to my three dogs and my wife in bed and the kids, and those are the best gifts that I have.

The attitude is in my personality. It's going to come out in the songs no matter what. If you're pushing the vocal constantly at 10, there's no room for any dynamics. There's no room for any variation in tone. There's no room for anything.

There are those uncomfortable things that've passed that you have to deal with or they define you, like childhood trauma. Like when I'm lost, I just feel like somewhere along the line, if you've gone through any childhood trauma, it makes you lose your essence and it takes a while to get that back. There are certain things about that that push my buttons.
