I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

You should have felt the buzz the moment all five of us got together in the same room for the first time again. We all started laughin'—it was like the five years had never passed. We knew we'd made the right move.

I remember the first guy who offered me a joint in the bathroom. I said 'No, man, I've got enough problems.'
