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

The problem is that corporations have way too much power in Congress and the government and they're rigging the system so that they don't pay taxes, but we do. We pay for all these crazy wars they come up with.

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.

I'm on this planet for another forty years at the most and I got a baby and a wife and I'm worried about their future and that kind of fear, that anger is spilling into my lyrics, I can't just sit back and talk about myself until I'm dead.

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.

I care about this crazy little planet and I would love to make a difference.

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