I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.

It's probably the worst feeling in the world, when you're deeply and madly in love with a woman and you know she's not feeling you the same way, and you don't know why.

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

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.

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).

The drumming helps a lot when I'm producing songs or writing songs. My knowledge of drums helps more in that aspect, (although) I don't know, man; I'm not great at any of them.
