I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had - it was all - these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing.

I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

If you listen to old Jerry Lee Lewis records, he'll always - about nine times out of 10 have the lyrics different than the original record is.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.
