Whether I'm making my own record, or playing a guitar part, I want what I do to have an impact.

You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things.

Whether I'm making my own record, or playing a guitar part, I want what I do to have an impact.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am.

I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.
