Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

I think that success is having fun.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words.
