I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands it wouldn't be ours anymore.

It's not like I don't have my own wants and dreams anymore - it's just that the kids come first. It's primal.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

Luckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore because I design them! I'm off tour so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up - I had to have them.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

I'm honest about the journey I've been on so I definitely don't take dating lightly anymore.

'I Know You Care' is about my dad. And I haven't seen him for a long long time. And my parents divorced when I was really young. And I guess I just wanted a - it was my way of saying that I wasn't bitter or angry anymore. I was just sad and just felt like something was missing.

When you make that crossover from life to real life when you're not treated as a child anymore but as a man and you are no longer given the benefit of the doubt it takes some courage to face that.

Even as a kid if I would come across something cool in the record store that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.

All I know is that I've ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings and now I realize that's not cool anymore.
