You know, no matter what I am or what I do for a living, I'm still, you know, the husband and the dad and the protector of the house, and I have to be conscientious about that.

Somehow, you need to cling to your optimism. Always look for the silver lining. Always look for the best in people. Try to see things through the eyes of a child. See the wonder in the simplest things. Never stop dreaming. Believe anything is possible.

Going through the grief period of my dad and losing him - that was the worst thing because you know when you get that call. When you are seven, eight years old, you have that almost vision in your mind of what that's going to be like and what your going to feel like and it doesn't prepare you.

A man can never have too many pairs of sunglasses or too many guitars.

For me, success is being able to give back to your friends, your family, your community, those in need and the world entire.

I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.

You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.
