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.

The values my mother taught me were like, if you're going to do something, don't half-ass it. I remember her literally saying that to me. Like the first time I ever heard the term half-ass was coming from my mother's lips. I was probably 8 or 9. If you're going to do something, go ahead and throw 115 percent at it, and if you get 100 percent back, well, there you go - you're perfect.

We gotta figure out a way to pay our teachers more. They're like surrogate parents away from home. They have such a huge responsibility and they're underappreciated and underpaid.

I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.

I believe in things I can count on, like beer and ESPN and my grandmother's pecan pie.

I kiss people with my soul. I don't kiss them with my mouth.

I'll get you naked by the end of this song.
