It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.

I like rules that are broken.

That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.

The Qataris have cut off support for the most extreme elements of terrorist organizations.

There's nothing but spirit in music. That's all it is. Yeah, there's a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, it's all spirit.
