I approach love differently now that I know it's hard for it to work out.

When you run into someone that you used to be in love with, all that you have is drama, desperation and not know what to do.

I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people.

You can walk away and say "We don't need this." but something in your eyes says "We can beat this.

I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.

I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.

I've been on tour since I was 16, and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows, so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what's going on in their love lives.
