I love orchestrating music and conducting and being on Broadway.

You have to do things that do good for you and when there's an uncharted course, you have to figure out how to get through it.

I just liked the feeling of being on stage.

My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early '70s, when I was 5 years old, my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.

As you work on something, whether it's a painting or a piece of music, it's going to evolve. A relationship is like that too. I don't have to think, What can I do to spice up my marriage? Because as time goes on, she changes, I change. I'm not married to the same girl I met by the pool. I love this woman more than I loved the person I married, but just in a different way.

Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy.

I only tour in short bursts, I'm only ever away from my family and three daughters for a month or two.
