I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.

With anything you do in life, there are days where you're worn out and you don't want to do it for a second.

The country crowd just has fun.

My wife and I met right down the street. Our single, 'Just a Kiss' is kind of about that moment. I was trying to replicate that dance-off between Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears.

My wife thinks I'm a narcissist, but I just think it's hilarious going on YouTube and seeing these covers. There are so many of them - literally hundreds! It's flattering.

Growing up I played in garage bands and cover bands with my older brother, and he got us a gig opening up for some hippie jam band. I was 15. I felt like such an adult!

I see too many celebrity kids who can't sing. If you don't have it, give it up, because people are brutal. I never want my kids to feel like they have to live up to what I've done.

We're putting a lot of pressure on ourselves for this second album and so we want to make it as great as we possibly can.

I'm not going to lie, I love TV. I watch a ton of it - golf, HGTV, football.

I'm a real fan of that Foster the People song 'Pumped Up Kicks.'

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

Most people do not mind dying, as long as that does not happen today.

Why does one ruminate about the past? He is treating his wounded egoism.

If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise as to hold thy tongue.

Militarism. . . is the chief bulwark of capitalism. When it is that militarism is undermined, capitalism will fail.

The problem isn’t with rock lyrics, it’s with the fabric of this society itself.

If you're strong enough on the inside, you can handle anything that comes at you on the outside.

I kept going to different colleges, but dropped out.

My joy burns brighter when I tend to the glowing hearth fires of home.

Let's face it, most of us are not half as smart as we may sometimes think we are-- and for intellectuals, not one-tenth as smart.
