My heart has always been in more up-tempo music you can dance to.

I believe in love that's fun, that is caring, giving, and that is honest.

Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.

I was an alcoholic, for sure. It became a problem steadily over the course of six years.

You only live once and you don't know it because of the everyday activities, but if you walk around knowing you only have one time on this planet, you'll make a whole lot more of it.

I don't really look at myself as a role model. And I just am the way I am and if people want to look up to me, they do. By no means do I like to give a negative image either.

A true friend to me is someone who will be there when the chips are down.

Any form of a winning record in the conference is an accomplishment.

When you go to awards shows these days, you can walk through a room and they give you everything for free: sunglasses, guitars, stuff for the wife.

I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.

Just going on the road and entertaining the fans, that's amazing.

A sense of desolation settled within me: a cold, slimy stone lodged under my lungs. There was nothing happy about the woods, I thought, especially at night.

From without no wonderful effect is wrought within ourselves unless some interior responding wonder meets it.

The grander the vision the greater the price tag.

Firing is always difficult. The right way: one-on-one. The wrong way: snickering in front of other people, or via email.

It was always meant to ease out of a big radio song and flow into the next one. Don't is the bridge song in between Sing and Thinking Out Loud.

Hush, little bright line, don’t you cry You’ll be a cliché by and by.

Apparently I'm in rehab for intensive partying soooo I'm just going to lay pretty low for a bit and maybe get some frozen yogurt.

Those that set God always before them and walk before him with all their hearts, shall find him as good as his word and better; he will both keep covenant with them and show mercy to them.

My belief is that most of the limitations people have or face are self-imposed.
