I'm a hopeful romantic. In a couple of drinks, I'll be a lucky romantic. That's why they call me Mr. Lucky.

I'm not a very spiritual guy when it comes to music. I remember hearing Carlos Santana say that angels helped him write his songs. And I thought, 'Really, angels?

I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.

If Frank Sinatra is singing, maybe everything will go good.

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

The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00.

I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.
