I just feel like there's something to be said about feeling comfortable with what you have and don't have. And - for instance, I don't think I'm particularly a great singer, but I feel like I write songs that complement my voice, you know, and I feel like it's unique. And I don't feel like I'm particularly a great actor, for instance, but I feel like I approach each thing that I do with some level of sensitivity. And I would say that comedy in general is the most disarming.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.

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

If you asked me what pop is right now. I'd say hip hop.

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

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.

You're not meant to do what's easy, you're meant to challenge yourself.
