How the world perceives you is largely out of your control.

God, I felt like hell tonight, tears of rage I cannot fight.

We talk about defining moments, but I think nothing can define you. They're all refining moments. You're constantly refining yourself and refining your life.

I'm singing the way that I love to sing, which is like old soul, like old Al Green. I grew up about an hour from Memphis. So all that music that I grew up with - the Stax music and early rhythm n' blues - I'm doing that. I'm actually getting out from behind my guitar and I'm singing.

If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone.

I think your life informs your art.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about regrets because there's nothing I can do.
