Believe half of what you see and only some of what you hear, unless you hear it from me.
You have to think there's a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.
I think if I try to develop a formula, it ends up not working.
Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
I did exactly what I wanted to do. It was always my intention to put a band together and be a band and not be about the solo pop guy. That was never me. All of the musicians that made me do what I wanted to do were bands. I didn't see it any other way.
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.
Ed Kowalczyk is my favorite singer.
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.
If people say something rude or off-color, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because they don't know you.
My wife, if she wants it, she will just go out and buy it.
As a kid, I was heavily into martial arts and wanted to be the next Jean-Claude Van Damme.
I'm living my dream now.
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.
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 wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.
If I win, I'll take my wife and buy her a whole new wardrobe. If she's happy then I'll be happy.
In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.
I just like music. If it's hookey and good, I dig it.
There's going to be a flood of opportunities right now but I don't think I could really talk about them.
I will continue to pursue my music and live my life with my family.
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.
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.
My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.
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.
Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.
