I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.

There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write.

Stevie Wonder always smells so good... I'm like a DEA dog, I can smell people a block away!

There are so many difficult things we're living through in the world today, so many horrible events, but we cannot let them stop us. No matter what happens, I feel you must move forward with optimism and not get totally sideswiped.

If you're trying to do what's popular now, you're way behind already. By the time you record it and do it and try to copy it, it's moved on.

A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.

I've sung since I talked, when I'm two, but what I sang was ballads, because it's very hard to do a dance track with your little acoustic guitar when you're a kid.
