There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.

My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

My mom makes the best Cajun stuff. I'm a big gumbo guy. I've lost a lot of my Louisiana accent, so now when I say 'gumbo,' I feel like someone who's never said the word before.

Meeting Stevie Wonder was a massive, lifetime achievement for me. He's one of the sweetest people. I sense a kindred spirit in him, and I hope he'd say the same. Actually, he did.

I don't believe in making a record and rushing it.

All my band members were old enough to be my dad. It was like this family vibe.

There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now
