A gentleman can never have too many bow ties.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

Performing onstage is all about reacting in a grand way. You're playing an arena of seventeen or eighteen thousand people and it's your job to make sure the person at the back feels as cool as the person all the way in the front. Being on stage is a bit of a façade. You get to walk out there and be the coolest version of yourself that you could possibly have imagined and then you come off stage and you're just like everyone else.

I like woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is she who she is and figures people can take it or leave it. What I do like is a woman who has the guts to tell exactly as she feels. It's not appealing when a woman dresses to please a man. It's way more attractive if she has her own distinct style and wears what she feels best in.

I have really great, great parents, and they were very supportive of me.

The many sounds of Memphis shaped my early musical career and continue to be an inspiration to this day.

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