I don't like high-maintenance. High-maintenance does not work for me at all. And I don't like anybody who talks down to people. I don't speak down to anyone who works around me, and so I won't put up with it in a relationship.

For me, music is therapeutic, so the songs that came to me the easiest came from the most devastating moments of my life.

With 'I Want Action,' I think people take it in the context of the Sunset Strip and the party scene; it was tongue-in-cheek.

The philosophy of my life is the harder I worked, the luckier I got.

A lot of bands live and breathe out of hotels. I just happen to be the one that lives on my bus. I have camped and RVed my entire life.

I tell my daughters, 'If something doesn't feel right, whether that's going to a party, doing a video, shooting something, you're around someone that's creeping you out, use your gut. If you're in a car with a driver and something don't feel right, use your gut.'

You're never gonna make everyone love what you do. You just embrace the fans that do.

One of the things that matters to me, when you're out on the road, I want to make sure people are having a good time.

I'm the son of a Navy veteran, my two sisters are in the Air Force, I have a cousin who's a Navy Seal, and more.

I didn't hate Nirvana. That was more of a media-constructed this-versus-that thing.
