On the road you can really be more regular about it and work it into daily routines. There’s no town that doesn’t have a gym. And if you find one that actually doesn’t, you can go to the local high school. They always have one.

To me, my Dad’s
To me, my Dad’s the greatest guy – next to Jesus Christ – who ever walked this planet. He’s been that outstanding male role model in my life. And he’s still the same guy I grew up around, very conscious of the image he sets forth. As he would say, ‘Wouldn’t do anything behind your back that I wouldn’t do to your face.’

I write about what
I write about what I know and what I’ve experienced. That’s the only way it can be real to me. I love songwriting. There is something so satisfying in coming up with an idea and turning it into a song that means something to people.

Every day we encounter
Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

The fans are the
The fans are the end result of what we do. Sometimes I think we forget that those are the folks that mean it in this game. There’s plenty of evidence to be found that you can have all the #1 records in the world, but if you really ain’t touchin’ them, you don’t come home with gold records and platinum records. I’m very proud that we’ve only had one #1 record, but we’ve sold two and one half million!

I think my weight-training
I think my weight-training proved to me more than anything that I can do anything in life if I really put my mind to it. I saw me bring myself from 137 pounds to 175 pounds over a seven-year period. That alone said to me that all you have to do is really stick with something, and you can accomplish anything you want. It’s brought me great self-esteem because I know I did it. I changed me.

You’re not challenging anyone
You’re not challenging anyone else but yourself. I’d like to have a 300-pound bench, 500-pound deadlift, and a 400-pound squat.

I’m a machine freak.
I’m a machine freak. I just love it when you can get a big ol’ steel machine to do the most that it’s capable of doing.

Never underestimate your fans;
Never underestimate your fans; they’ll tell you exactly what they like.

I grew up with
I grew up with very hands-on jobs. I was raised on a farm and taught to work hard. In this high-tech, high-speed society, somewhere along the line, we got the message that if we’re not a brain surgeon or an astronaut, we really shouldn’t be proud of ourselves.
