I’d like to be a piano player.
Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
It doesn’t matter how good you are as a band or how good your music may be; if the fans aren’t supporting it and buying your music, it’s hard to make it.
What I do doesn’t sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don’t have a cool card, but I also don’t have thin skin.
My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.
You have to think there’s a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.
For me, you have to not have a formula. You have to not even sit down and say, ‘I want to write right now.’ It has to just kind of come out. It’s not something you can plan.
If I win, I’ll take my wife and buy her a whole new wardrobe. If she’s happy then I’ll be happy.
There’s going to be a flood of opportunities right now but I don’t think I could really talk about them.
My son’s taking drum lessons, and my daughter’s taking piano lessons. One day they’re going to start a band.
You marry somebody; you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
If people say something rude or off-color, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because they don’t know you.
As a kid, I was heavily into martial arts and wanted to be the next Jean-Claude Van Damme.
When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.
I will continue to pursue my music and live my life with my family.
I think I definitely enjoy recording, but I think it’s more fun to go out and perform live, because it’s like instant gratification, you know? You feel the response immediately.
I don’t want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?
I don’t want to say I can’t wait to get back to normal life, because I don’t. I don’t want to get back to normal life.
For me, something will come in my head and I’ll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I’ll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn’t. So there’s really no set method behind it.
For me, I want my kids to find their way. If they’re interested in something, I want them to try it out.
The hits always wind up being the songs with big, high choruses. They’re the ones too high to sing every night – not that you’ll ever, ever hear me complain about having to try.
