A couple of years ago, Myles Kennedy turned to Jim Carrey for some life-changing wisdom. The mercurial Hollywood star, a “genius” in Kennedy’s eyes, had announced his retirement from acting, when he said this: “I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.” For the Alter Bridge frontman, a lifelong worrier learning to manage his anxieties, it parted a lot of internal clouds.
“When I heard him say that, it was like: ‘Wow, there’s somebody who’s figured it out,’” Kennedy says now. “It’s like, just be here, just be grateful for what you have, let go of all that other stuff.”
