As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.

I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

I was more than just a moody artist.

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
