Apparently, I don't want to take myself too seriously.

I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it's always been.

I was a drama major through college.

I keep busy. That was my nickname in college, 'Iron to the Fire.' I like to keep several things going at once.

I wouldn't really say I'm a jazz guy, which I'm not.

You've got to be happy, you have to do this thing [music] for the love. It's not like you go into music because it's going to make a lot of money. It's something you do... that's the thing. You got to accept all that hard work with it, too. And enjoy it, and love it.

The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive…like I did when I was a homeless man.
