I like to listen to mellow stuff on the road like Travis as we are constantly surrounded by rock music on tour and so its nice listening to mellow stuff. Obviously back at home I listen to a lot more rock music.

I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance but they were not happy.

When I go home its an easy way to be grounded. You learn to realize what truly matters.

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled be surrounded by people I care about to share it with and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!

My personal goals are to be happy healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist. Obviously it would be wonderful to have a hit record but I don't base my happiness on that anymore. It's about the accomplishment of a project that satisfies me. I just want to enjoy the ride.

It is also rarer to find happiness in a man surrounded by the miracles of technology than among people living in the desert of the jungle and who by the standards set by our society would be considered destitute and out of touch.

Well there are two kinds of happiness grounded and ungrounded. Ungrounded happiness is cheesy and not based on reality. Grounded happiness is informed happiness based on the knowledge that the world sometimes sucks but even then you have to believe in yourself.

I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that so really I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also the people I met at the university most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.
