I'm trying to be more of a gentleman.

I had always been singing, all of my life, but it wasn't until I got out of high school and was on my own that I didn't have any accompaniment.

The easiest songs to write are pure fiction. There is no limit to how you can tell the story. I find it difficult when I'm replaying an event through a song.

I feel like I write the same album every time but each time I try to convey the message more simply.

I'm always thinking about the next record. I've got like 20 different themes and then I'll scratch the themes. It's a learning process.

There's nothing more vulnerable than just standing in front of a thousand people, or ten thousand people, and doing your best to entertain them, touch them in some way.

Everything is perfect. Everything is fine. The rules of life are made up. The rules only exist in your mind. Of course there may be courtesies And closures and laws to abide, But the zeal with which you play Relies on where YOU draw the line
