I know I'm a sinner.

I live wild and free and reckless, but that's the price you have to pay for rock.

I just hope I'll live to 60, and then I'll turn to the Lord and say, 'I'm ready for you now. I got all the time in the world to start making it up to you now.'

I never did figure on being a college man.

Minneapolis, in general, has been there with me since the beginning. They made me feel important before I really even had a foundation. I think a lot of it has to do with it's such an intense music city in its own right.

Man, I live out 90 percent of my songs and the other 10 percent... once in a while, I'll put myself in someone else's shoes and try to go down that road.

My mom was always playing Elvis around the house or ZZ Top, so there was always rock-n-roll and country being played.

Energy wise, playing the drums was a lot of fun; I just felt like it was a natural fit for me.

If I was just a country singer, I wouldn't be near as cool and I wouldn't have nowhere near as cool of a fan base.

I thank God for all the independent hard rock that I grew up with.

I take pride in the fact that a guy and a gal can come to my show, have a couple of beers and still go home with a little money in their pockets.

I am from a rebel blood line.

I'll tell you, Nashville ruined country music.

I write about the dark and the happy.

We are kind of country, but we do cater to louder kinds of music.

Mike Patton is my mentor, and he releases two to five records a year with many different bands, and he gets stuff done.

If you look at how much Hank Williams did by 29 years old, it makes you feel pretty worthless.

I'll never outdo Hank Williams. That's impossible.

Pop country is about being so clean and perfect and not having any rough edges or imperfections. It's all manufactured.

We're bringing together the country folks and the rockers.

We definitely get respect as far as the musicianship, working hard and being road dogs.

I'm the kind of guy if you ask me a question I'll tell you the truth if it's hurting me or not. If it's good or bad, I'll cut to the chase and that's the way it is.

I could have took the easy way and just been a cowboy, looking good, trying to make my money off Hank Williams and being this clean-cut guy. But I always wanted to be myself and go against the grain.

There's only one Hank Williams, man. Singing that high-voiced style, them bluegrassers, I don't see how they do it - Jimmy Martin, Bill Monroe - it's just a natural thing, man.

George Jones, Johnny Paycheck all them dudes they're respected and they were twice as crazy as I'll ever be.

I've got an addictive personality.

The true Hank III fans want me to be me.

The only thing I got of my granddaddy's is a necktie.

If I'm opening up for George Jones or playing a complete honky-tonk, I do true country music. But if it's a complete rock club, I'll do some country and a little bit of this hillbilly acoustic country metal or whatever it's called.

I write a song for me and I sing a song for me - no one else.

I can't really change Nashville.

I'm just gonna keep doing what I do, and hopefully not make too many people mad.

I could put in garage doors or work in McDonald's but that's it. So I figured I might as well play the Nashville game.

He doesn't know how to be warmer. I can't blame him. My dad had to deal with more stuff than I ever did.

If Hank Williams had lived any longer, his name would have been one of the most hated in the land. Nashville would have dug him deep.

When I'm making a record, I'm trying to take people through different moods.

Don't forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally.

There's nothing like starting the day with a healthy, filling breakfast smoothie.

A change of season calls for a change of scent that is both energizing and refreshing.

I see the most change in my body through exercise. They say diet determines your weight, and exercise determines your shape - I find that to be a pretty true statement. When I'm doing a lot of boxing, my hamstrings are really strong and my biceps. When I'm doing a lot of Pilates, I find that my core is really lean and my inner thighs.

I feel like when things are really hectic it's important to carve out time for yourself.

Vintage never fits the way you think it will.

To unwind, I like to have a relaxing bath.

I want to share knowledge about things I've learned over the years with a younger generation that is seeking the truth.

On the lids, I stick to browns and golds. It doesn't look like I'm wearing a lot on my eyes, but I don't really know how to do a smoky eye, so I just try and keep it pretty easy.

I get a lymphatic massage every two weeks, and afterward, I have more energy and brighter skin.

I love everything from The Rolling Stones to Run-DMC to Nina Simone.

Ultimately, I want people to be inspired to go on their own journey of self-discovery.

I feel like as you blossom more, you become more mature, and I'm definitely excited for whatever life has to throw at me, and knowing me, I'm definitely going to be sharing it all.

Vanilla is anti-inflammatory and reduces free radicals.
