Selling millions of records is great, but at the end of the day it really doesn't bring peace.
TobyMacLiterally as I walk into the studio I say, "God, hollow me of all my junk. Hollow me of my insecurity, my pride and my doubt. Make me hollow enough that you can breathe something through me that would turn eyes to you." And whether that's a song or a conversation you're going to have with a co-worker, or whatever you're facing, that's for everybody.
TobyMacI feel like I'm not living a life different than anyone else. You know, I live in a house with 5 kids and a wife, but I also travel on the road with a band of brothers, just doing life. I am a member of a church, but it's almost like it's a little church on our bus. It's about trying to pursue God and stay faithful to Him in this crazy world.
TobyMacYou're like the lyrics to my favorite song. You stick with me all day long. And when I reach the end I wanna hear it again.
TobyMacPeople love that you're human and that we're frail and we face the same situations. Honesty tends to communicate with people better than standing up there like you have an 'S' on your chest.
TobyMacLife is serious, but I do think that God wants us to enjoy the things He's given us, like music.
TobyMacI just pinch myself, because I think if theres anything I can be proud of, Ive survived success, which I think is difficult these days.
