My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.
I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.
The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.
Writing music is sort of my hobby, but it's been falling off more and more. Doing comic books takes up my entire life.
I wanted to tell my story in a way I haven't done before, things I've been going through in my life.
I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.
I've never followed a list in my life, and that's probably what has created so much nervous energy in my body.
I've been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.
My idea at this time, which was slowly developing, was to create a comedie humaine with little people, average people - samples from every period in American life.
You get to a certain point in your life where you get closer to the end of your life than the beginning, and it colors your life, in a way.
Our shows are packed with laughter and light-hearted songs to lift the listener from their everyday life. We encourage the audience to participate in any way.
I guess I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty about having joy in your life, regardless of how bad things are in the world.
I'm a believer in just open, free-form creativity, and you never know the surprises that life has in store, and that, purely on a creative level, there's no such thing as rules.
To think that my heart and my words and my music saved somebody's life, it takes a while to just sink in with me. But it proves to me that music is powerful.
I don't need to sell tons of records, but I want longevity. I want to make music for the rest of my life.
I guess I'm attracted to people who are singing about love or life, and they have a particular passion that I can connect with.
The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.
You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.
If I spent the rest of my life getting even with the people that had helped me out, I would never settle the score.
Sometimes the most happy people in life are the ones with nothing. We can't lose sight of the little things in life that should make us the happiest.
I feel like have a lot of music left to cut in my life.
