I get terrible reviews everywhere I go.

I just liked the feeling of being on stage. My parents weren't pushing me, they didn't have to, I was obsessed.

I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.

I had a couple albums out that sold well for who I was at the time and the type of music I played. People started recognizing my name and face and it helped sell bigger venues. I had a bigger spotlight and I had to live up to it but I thrived under that challenge. It expedited the creative process. If I was on stage in front of 300 people instead of 30, I had to work harder at my performances because I had a greater responsibility. It was very exciting, but creative too.

I’m really boring, man. Like, I’m really dull. And I think people may think that I have this glamorous, fun lifestyle, but it’s pretty dull. But that’s what I like.

I say sorry to my wife about five times a day for various reasons.

There's some things I can't write about, just terrible personal tragedies.
