My Job Is Intense. It's Very Physical.

I Remember Times When I Was At Shows And The Person Onstage Locked Eyes With Me. And In That Moment, Everything Was Right With The World. I Think That's Part Of My Job, To Create These Thousands Of Moments Every Night. And For The Rest Of Their Life, They Can Say, 'you Guys Looked At Me,' Or 'you Sweated On Me,' Or 'i Got Your Gum.'

The Thing That Sometimes Gets Lost Is People Look At The Harder Edge Of Me ... The Leather Jacket And The Tough Rock 'n' Roll Attitude... And Get The Wrong Impression That I'm Mean. That's Really Something I Don't Want People To Think Because I Don't Think That's The Case.

People Like To Tear You Down. People Are Always Going To Take Shots. You've Just Got To Go For It.

You Gotta Not Care About What People Think In General About You. I'm Not Talking About Bad Stuff, If You're A Nasty Person, Because I Don't Consider Myself A Mean Person, I Consider That I Know What I Want And I'm Tough. But I'm Very Emotional And Un-tough On A Lot Of Levels, I Cry Very Easily, I'm Sensitive And I Don't Think That's A Bad Thing.

I Really Wanted It To Be Organic And Coming From My Heart. So, I Think Maybe The Initial Thought Of Wanting To Go In That Direction, I Had To Wait Until Things Happened In Our World And In Our Country That Fired Me Up Enough Where The Words Came Out Organically.
