When you don't come from struggle, gaining appreciation is a quality that's difficult to come by.

I like being at home and cooking.

I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.

I don't take any day for granted anymore.

I feel like I'm on top of the world. Honestly, I feel like I've climbed a very giant mountain, and I'm just standing right on top with my arms wide open and breathing rarified air.

Sting I've seen a few times, and he really inspired me in the sense that he breaks the songs down a lot and will take a different approach. He'll take an acoustic approach to them; he'll rearrange them for the live stage.
