I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan.

I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.

You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

It's dedicating yourself to your craft. Spending thousands of hours in a studio learning how to write a song, learning how to play different chords, training yourself to sing. You know, to get better and better.

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.
