Songs are like ropes that you can kind of hang on to or pull yourself up on.

All of my life, actually, I had a real strong relationship with God, but I was always in the closet about it. The only distance out of the closet I really want to come there is having my tattoo or wearing my t-shirt.

What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.

I grew up in a situation of extreme abuse, but there was no chance to talk about it, so music became the escape if you like.

Maybe it was mean, but I really don't think so. You asked for the truth and I told you.

There is a God. God exists.

My kids really are my center. They create a beautiful chaos. It's always a nice chaos with them.
