You know, you've got to be careful with how you educate your kids in rock'n'roll fashion.

When you're in love, you've found your soul mate, you think life is going one way, and suddenly it's completely apparent it's not. You have to rethink your whole purpose.

Well, a lot of successes come by mistake.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

I've changed the way I look at things. When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, "This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records." I have fallen into that trap before.

It's a beautiful thing to be that committed to something that you get so much joy from, but it is like a sick addiction, because sometimes it's incredibly volatile, incredibly painful, and very frustrating. A man shouldn't be defined by his work, but I am.

Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.
