I was able to truly immerse myself in the record-making process. I'm excited about music.

I'm a family guy. A lot of my songs are inspired by my kids. Simple relationships. Watching them grow up, watching them share experiences with me and vice versa.

We all have our fears, our insecurities. I'm not different from anyone else.

The most rewarding thing of my success has been the ability to use my music for many different causes that have become important to me.

Usually it is a painful process (writing), "Superman" came in 45 minutes; "100 Years" in four months.

As a sports fan, the Los Angeles Kings winning the Stanley Cup makes me feel very alive.

I've learned that love takes priority.

In so many of my songs, I'm trying to touch on various aspects of love.

Once you have kids and you're married, it's all about them. My life changed. You can see in my records.

I'm simply the mom who makes the lunch, drives to school, finds where the toys are, washes the clothes, and I'm here to play. And that's all I should be.

A lot of the advertisement is done by saying: first of all, have a complex about who you are.

Profits in business always depend on the rate of interest: the higher the interest, the higher the rate of profit required.

Men gladly believe what they wish. -Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt

John's time and effort were, in the main, spent on pretty honorable stuff. As for the other side, well, nobody's perfect, nobody's Jesus. And look what they did to him.

The universe does not jest with us, but is in earnest.

I think the world is a series of broken dams and floods, and my cartoons are tiny little lifeboats.
