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

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.

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.

I buy digital music off of iTunes all the time. I Shazam something in an airport or in a club or something; I Shazam it, I buy it. I am fully digital.

Everywhere I go I'm always spotted on the streets.

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've learned enough things the hard way to know we humans can make a difference.
