I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.

I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.

You mean, like a book?

I think the first half of my 20s I felt I had to achieve, achieve, achieve. A lot of men do this. I'm looking around now and I'm like, Where am I running?

I believe mustard to be one of the most amazing condiments.

I enjoy creating. And if you can do it in a cool way, do it. You can't worry about disappointing people or what their expectations might be.

A gentleman can never have too many bow ties.
