I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.
My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.
I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.
I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands.
And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.
When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.
Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee.' Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing.
My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.
I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.
