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'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.

When you turn on the news, they don't say, "Hey, 2 Million kids went to school safely today...40,000 flights took place without incident." They don't say that.

My idols have always stuck to their guns and said what they want to do.

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

For me, we're all comfortable, we're all happy, hopefully, but at the same time something will happen and you have to kind of understand that phenomenon. You have to understand what's going on and I've always been fascinated by craziness and lunacy.

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