Some people, you know, should just go to college and do what they do and have a great job and not worry about trying to be famous as a singer. It's not for everyone.

You can always find a stray negative comment on the Internet. It's like everybody loves to put negative comments on the Internet under the cloak of anonymity.

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.

I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.

Well, I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them.

I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.
