The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.

I am learning. I'm a slow learner. I repeat myself three times, relationship wise.

We used to sing along to Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald records together. She had the most amazing voice ... She's always encouraged me, and she's still that person who, when things look dire, lifts me up and reminds me of who I am and that we all have a capacity for greatness.

I look at my hands and go, 'Hmm...what happened? Whose hands are those? Oh my God, they're mine'

I'm still the king of me.

It's interesting when I jog, how much the music makes a difference. You can pretty much count on the Foo Fighters to get your heart rate up.

One of the things that I wound up loving about being involved with a bike racer was learning how to bike and how that really creates solitary time for you to reflect on things and nobody can get a hold of you.
