“It's not about what you're capable of, it's about what you are willing to do.”

“I think it's important to have a little bit of an edge to what you do.”

“No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do.”

“As a songwriter, you're always trying to find new ways of expressing yourself.”

“You don't just go to the studio and say, 'I'm going to write a hit.' It's not that simple.”

“I'm a perfectionist, so I'm never satisfied with anything. I'm always looking for the next thing.”

“I'm always writing. I'm always thinking about music.”

“To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.”

“I'm a family guy. Most important thing in my life is my wife and my kids.”

“I didn't want to be the guy who won 'American Idol' and then faded away.”

“Home is where you feel loved, and I have that with my family.”

“The best thing about music is that it's a universal language.”

“I think the most important thing is to be yourself and be unique.”

“I've always been a fan of rock music, and I've always wanted to be in a rock band.”
