My joke, which isn't really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs.

I think I do better when things are a little tougher.

I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.

When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.

Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.

I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.

I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.
