I'm a family guy. A lot of my songs are inspired by my kids. Simple relationships. Watching them grow up, watching them share experiences with me and vice versa.

We all have our fears, our insecurities. I'm not different from anyone else.

The most rewarding thing of my success has been the ability to use my music for many different causes that have become important to me.

As a sports fan, the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup makes me feel very alive.

I've learned that love takes priority.

I was able to truly immerse myself in the record-making process. I'm excited about music.

In so many of my songs, I'm trying to touch on various aspects of love.

Once you have kids and you're married, it's all about them. My life changed. You can see in my records.

As a songwriter, I think that comes with the territory. The older you get, you like to say it doesn't matter, but you care what people think about what you do.

You can never tell how high you could climb on the ladder of success until you start giving your goals some honest courageous attempts.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t please everyone”.

It is unnatural in a large field to have only one shaft of wheat, and in the infinite Universe only one living world.

I am not a number, I am a free man!

Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.

When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.

Obviously I don't have a stylist for everyday stuff, but for a premiere or something usually the studio will hire someone.

The company's most urgent task is to learn to welcome, beg for, demand - innovation from everyone.
