Our music is always a reflection of where we are in a society. That's what enables so many people to do what they do. So my advice is to work at your craft. Be the best you can be at your craft and do it sincerely. Even in the world we live in today, that will give you longevity. At the end of the day, I want the quality of my work to stand, not how much I did.
When I make music, I play it, I produce it, I write it. It's a very self-centered thing, not in a negative way. But I primarily work by myself, that's my process. When I'm acting, I'm there to serve the director and the character. I'm here to give you what you need. Communicate that to me and I will do what I need to do to get that. So that's what it's about.
This world is so crazy. So many things are based on popularity versus talent. So there's a lot of folks who are not so talented, but they're popular and they have "x" amount of followers on social media.
I'm a very open and loving person. My whole thing has been "let love rule" since my first album. I'm about unity and peace and God.
It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.
Good design is being able to put a $100,000 thing next to a $20 thing. If it looks right and it works then it works. It doesn't have to be expensive; it's all about the high meets low for me.
Everything that I make I use.
Music definitely inspires my design all the time.
For me a watch is a really beautiful instrument. I don't so much care what time it is but I do love watches, and I love how they're constructed.
When I'm doing interiors - especially the ones where you really have full creative freedom - it's about creating an environment for people to feel so comfortable and at ease. I want them to become inspired to live and feel better.
Don't take it so seriously.
The most important thing for me is the moment, going from one thing to the next and hitting all the different levels and different points that make the whole what it is.
I just feel so good; it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.
You can start something, do it, and believe that that's what you're doing, but then the inspiration comes and it's like, "Nope, this is what it is."
I don't pull, I just receive.
I just live my life and try to be present.
I'm definitely happy with everything I've done. I stand behind it. You'll always be saying, "Well, I could change that, or I would do that differently." But you have to let it be what it is.
I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
I find cooking to be the one thing that relaxes me. I don't get to do it often . . .
I think that we have to be very careful and get back into the loop, get back to nature. Get back to God and not let the technology send us somewhere that we're going to regret.
We have so many distractions. We're losing the family unit. We're losing the one-on-one. We're becoming extremely narcissistic. And we have to be careful about that. There's a lot to deal with out there.
I'm looking forward to going out at the concert with a clear head, with a clear mind, with a clear spirit and experiencing whatever it is. It's great.
I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old.
I'm experiencing the mood to go out and share the music. I don't look at these concerts as a platform for people to watch me, look at me. No, a tour is about an interaction. A thing, myself, a band, and the people who support what I do and enjoy what I do.
I enjoy what people at the concert give me and I can't do it without them, so it's really an exchange of energy that snowballs back and forth and becomes something that's very satisfying and very magical.
