It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

The world has changed a lot since I started making records.I used to go into a studio and there were songs there, chosen for me to see if I liked them. I wasn't encouraged to write.

I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.

I was singing before I could talk.

I have my songs ready in my head, gather the guys, play it and then let them go with it. [The music] finds its way, we do what the music says to do......the song is the producer.

What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.

I didn't go to college.
