"Be nice to your parents." When they made the decision to have a child, whether it was planned or not, they were changing their entire lives to do the best they could for this new human being. A lot of young people, we don't understand that.

I listened to the radio, so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

To create an album of love, I really had - I thought it was going to be easy, because I've always written love songs. But I thought if I really want to make a love album that contributes, that actually means something, I've got to go deep.

I'm trying to be more of a gentleman.

Everything in life influences my music.

What I enjoy the most about all this is the traveling. I love that my job allows me to travel all over the world.

And it's okay if you have to go away. Oh, just remember the telephone works both ways ((You and I Both))
