Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

Cause I enjoy both, I enjoy recording and playing live, but yeah, the rush of playing live is really something.

But I needed to prove to everyone that I was a serious musician.

Right, yeah, you know, my favorite thing just globally about music is just hopefully I'm able to be, you know, blessing the people in any way that I can.

Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.

You could be performing below your potential in areas where you are relying on your own experiences alone and without the guidance of a trusted mentor.

Life is one sick joke after another, I'm discovering. Because it hardly seems fair that it should hurt so much to finally get exactly what I've been wishing for.

Temperamentally I'm not a natural producer, because I don't have the patience.

Illusions only control you when you think they are real.

When the human body is put under exceptional strain, a range of dormant genes in the DNA are expressed and extraordinary physiological processes are activated.

Why kill good people just to get a bad man?

Oh, how much holier the world would be if more people invoked their right to remain silent.

I seldom get into the mood of the story. It's acting. I go in, I act, I quit. I don't take anything away from it.

Show me someone not full of herself and I'll show you a hungry person.

She's good, being gone.
