A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don't know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn't have cash on him.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).

I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.

Doo-wop is special music to me because it's so straightforward and melody-driven and captures emotions.

My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.

You're amazing, just the way you are.
