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

Best things in life aren't things.

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

I do feel like, now, approaching fifty, I am definitely at a crossroads and having to reevaluate things and look at things. It's time for more change, and that's good.

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.

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.

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