People get out of music what they want to get out of it, and all I try to do is do the same thing.

Music and movie scripts are books. You want to be literally moved and that's the sort of things I look for.

I think there are more people waiting to forgive me than I need to forgive them.

Most of the time I ask, "Why have I forsaken God?" I look at myself and ask that question when probably the better question is to say, "Where are you God, and I'll let you in." Instead of thinking that you've abandoned God, push yourself in the other direction like, "God, how can I get closer?"

I live in a house with four women. Just shut up and say, Yes ma'am.

I coach my daughter's softball and basketball team. We go to all the school functions. We go out to eat at night and take the kids to the movies. We try to be as normal as we can.

I'm coming up on 40 next year, and after making so many records and doing music for so long, I'm looking for a change and a different perspective. And every now and then, I think I have something I want to say.
