The whole point of me doing a Christmas record and what I centered it around was the song 'Christmas with You' from the point-of-view of the soldiers in Iraq.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

I was - I've always been a bit of perpetual adolescent.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.

I meditate. Meditation helps me.

Karma is not just about the troubles, but also about surmounting them.
