When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're are amazing just the way you are.

My dad was just the king of finding these little spots for us to stay that we should never have been staying at.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I've done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it's nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage.

Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
