I went to America and got into a band, had success, had hits in Australia.

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

I was more than just a moody artist.

At this young age I am already sold on the idea of the dog. One of God's absolutely greatest inventions and one that needs no more tinkering. The dog is the perfect beast, companion, friend, shoulder to lean on, and scapegoat when too many cookies are missing. And a dog won't hold that against you, either. I am at peace sitting in silence with a dog.

When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.

I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean.

My wife and I have built trust with our children and have always had open communication.
