The tough thing about radio is I've met a lot of people in it who like my music. But it's hard for them to figure out how to play what they like when there's somebody up above them yelling 'you have to play this.

My advice is: if you've got to be miserable to write great music, then drive a truck.

I think as far as self-promotion goes, I probably have a lot to learn.

One thing, when you're an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you're a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I'm working on new stuff for a new album right now.

I picked songs that I've been singing my whole life that stuck with me. I tried to pick stuff that was a variety. And I think the same way I always imagine that people are going to play the record at their house and I imagine them doing stuff with music on, like the way I am.

I'm the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I'm also available for children's parties and bar mitzvahs.

I keep things pretty simple.
