[Dean Martin ] had this really wonderful rich, authentic, distinct vocal style. His humour in movies [and] the self-deprecation and the coolness he had could overshadow what a marvellous vocalist in the Great American Songbook he is.

If [my son] had any pain in feeling that he couldn't express to me, that would hurt.

I was reading a Time magazine interview with an author named Brené Brown. She said, "People that fail seem to ultimately do the same thing they think works over and over again." I had an epiphany and called my manager and started a creed with my producers. I promised we'd do whatever was best for the song and the album - no ego would get in the way.

It's a bit shocking when you show up in Africa or you're in the middle of Spain and there are people that know the words and the young kids singing along.

I would rather have people be even cynical about me than to feed the negative vibe.

Who I am is a dad and a family guy. When I look in the mirror and talk to myself, that's what I want to reflect.

It's a beautiful day, and I can't stop myself from smiling!
