You kind of have to have a cynical thing sometimes.

The fans have made my dreams come true. For that, I'm super grateful.

I call my wife and talk to my children four or five times a day. I've surrounded myself with great people and friends, plus I'm always willing to make amends.

My wife and children are the greatest force that keeps me sober and strong.

For many people out there in the world, music is the only thing that gives them relief, so it’s awesome to be a part of that tradition.

I worked with a lot of different, amazing people, but I was always like, "Dude, I'm sorry, you're going to have to trust me, we've got to do it this way!"

You just have to follow your own heart. I listen to so many different kinds of music and at the end of the day you want to make a record that you're super proud of.
