I do have a lot of deep religious iconography. I have crosses all over my house, and there's something very attractive about seeing nuns walking down the street. It's not a sexual thing for me; I know it is for some guys.

I'm surrounded by great guitar players.

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.

Other than dying, I think puberty is probably about as rough as it gets.

The first guitar I ever got was for my 13th birthday.

I meditate. Meditation helps me.

I get inspired at different times and in different ways.
