Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies. But the rest of the world, I don't need to apologize to them. My life doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the world.
My family is the most beautiful thing in my life beyond anything else, even music.
Life doesn't make any sense unless you can enjoy the journey, and sometimes I take that for granted.
As I've gotten older and my life is a lot more stable, I've gotten more into storytelling.
I don't want to stay on the road for the rest of my life. I have two kids.
In my creative life, David Bowie is definitely an enormous influence on me, being one of rock's greatest shapeshifters.
The great thing about kids is the immediate gratification. As soon as I get home from touring, my wife and kids become my life. There is nothing sweeter.
I've seen guys on the street who look the part of a rock star just as much as any rock star. If you feel it and you believe it, then you can get away with it. Rock on!
I used to just write about my own apathy, but that youthful, apathetic way of looking at things grew thin as I got older.
Electric red hair is more for, like, people in their 20s and early 30s.
People read things on Google, and they have these perceptions, these misconceived perceptions of who you are. At times that hurts, because they really don't know who I am.
Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.'
You have to spend a lot more time on the road these days if you want to make a living with music.
A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture.
