You just have to follow your own heart.

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.

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

You kind of have to have a cynical thing sometimes.

You can't just walk into someone's house and take $15 bucks out of someone's wallet and then walk out with their song. You can't do that. You got to know the difference between stealing from being cool to the band and paying them what they're deserved.

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.
