I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.

I've never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.

I think I do better when things are a little tougher.

I saw your smile and my mind could not erase the beauty of your face.

In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record.

I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.

I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
