I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.

I feel like I'd have a different approach to football now after doing music.

Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.

Football sometimes is stressful. Music is more of a kind of laid-back type, chilled-out kind of activity. It kind of keeps me balanced, I guess.

I haven't always been into fitness. But I noticed that when I'd be on stage playing a show, I could hardly make it through the fifth song without having to take a breather.

Whether it's soundtracking a moment in my life or just motivating me to hit the gym, I constantly have music playing. Even if it's just in my head.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.

I've worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I'm already prepared for the game. So when I'm listening to music pregame, it's really just about personal enjoyment.

Music is everything to me, and I'm most grateful that it's all working out.
