I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films.
Santa Monica was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But its not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.
You dont have control of the car, but you can drive it. Life takes you where it wants you to go and where you need to go.
If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.
Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.
I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.
I just wanna be a rock star!
Living isn't a simple thing...no one said it's supposed to be.
My frustration has always been that I'm a Christian, but I don't buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell.
I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.
People's perceptions of me have nothing to do with reality. I'm basically just your average dork.
Any artist manages his own business along with his manager. Every band should.
My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.
A lot of people do not like singer-songwriters, and a lot of people who like them do not like hard rock. It's either-or.
