The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions.

There's a book called 'The Shack' - it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal.

You can hear some artists, hear five of their albums and still have no idea who they are. But if you've heard most of what I've recorded, you know me. You go from 'Honesty' to 'Going Through Hell' - you can listen to the hits, and they pretty much reflect who I am. 'Take a Back Road' is the same thing.

Every song you're trying to find something that going to connect in different ways but for me the songs that I'm really drawn to are inspirational, songs that lift you and that everybody can relate to no matter where you're from.

When Mahesh is not around for weeks together, I have to take care of everything - kids, home. But the fact that I am able to survive and not feel alone is very challenging. It's about a healthy companionship and being true to each other.

I think Christmas, for me, has always been about family, as cliche as that sounds.

If I'm dancing, or teaching, or having a family I would want to live life to the fullest as possible.

I can relate to a guy who stays home and does it for his family and friends.
