Songs like 'Learn To Love Again' and 'Rochester' and some of the more gut-wrenching ones deal with the pain of the younger times of your life... trying to make sense of some the stuff we probably all went through.
I loved being a rock and roll star, but it wasn't what I wanted in life.
I grew up in Southern California. I played in rock bands out here, and I've been around pop music my whole life. I've been around all music my entire life.
I'm sure there are many more people who can identify with failure and hardship in life than with the success of an Alexander Hamilton or a John D. Rockefeller.
I don't want to be someone sitting in my rocking chair at the end saying, 'Well, I passed.' My mum used to say life isn't for sissies.
I only box. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't just go to the gym and run. I'd rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.
I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.
I cannot bet my life on it, because I was not involved, that Alex Rodriguez ever used steroids. But in my opinion, I suspect he has, yes.
Well, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I haven't been a rogue most of my life.
If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.
My life has been very much a roller coaster ride. Not just the boxing part, not just the acting part, just my childhood, what I was into at a young age and the things I was exposed to, it's just very abnormal.
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 have had an extraordinary life, but it's been one incredible roller coaster ride.
Life has to be a roller coaster ride. Otherwise, what's the point of living? Why should I make a song and dance about mine?
Life's been a rollercoaster for me, but I think we can all agree on enduring ups and downs. I've yet to meet a person who hasn't gone through something major in their life.
Life is an emotional rollercoaster. It really is.
Absolutely, it's a really weird stage because at the minute, I can walk down the street and be unrecognised, lead a normal life, but my label and everybody is warning me that will be changing and I'm in for a rollercoaster ride.
I'm a massive scaredy cat. I'm scared of being in a fast car, I'm scared of being on a rollercoaster, I would never go skiing, I would never do anything that had the possibility of endangering my life in any way. I should get some therapy, really.
Life is a rollercoaster, and the lower you are, the higher you'll go.
