We live in a crazy time. Every other week, there's a school shooting. There's always some nutty thing and I've always wanted to kind of understand the crazy.

There's never the same road. It's always, every time it's always a different road.

I was always getting my way. I was always the guy saying yes or no.

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.

To speak up and stand by my guns the entire time...To stand by my methodology. That's why I kind of made myself the producer.

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