I still don't know if I'm good enough or if it's a calling or a vocation or something, but the talent part is out. My desire to do it is undoubted. I just love doing this.

I think everybody in my generation, we wanted to be Elvis.

I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.

I think I've had the slowest, most methodical career in the business.

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 blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.

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