There's nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that's what God wants.

When I make music, I play it, I produce it, I write it. It's a very self-centered thing, not in a negative way. But I primarily work by myself, that's my process. When I'm acting, I'm there to serve the director and the character. I'm here to give you what you need. Communicate that to me and I will do what I need to do to get that. So that's what it's about.

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.

One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.

People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.

I don't pull, I just receive.

There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.
