I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.

I have a big ego, but I don't buy into it. I can't live off the ego. It's an honor that I get to be that guy onstage. It's not something I earned.

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.

Music expresses what cannot be put into words I like to think, and I think the band makes a good go at it.

When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it.

My toes are all squished. During an operation, they had to take nerves out.

The fact that I'm still constantly smiling is a remarkable thing, but I love getting out on the road, meeting my fans. I love hearing them say wonderful things and I love being able to thank them in person for reading me.
