OK, so truth hurts - but what else does truth do?

OK, so truth hurts - but what else does truth do?

I have a deep affinity for New Orleans - its like a second home to me - they treat me like I'm their own.

There were times I used to go to parties when I was, you know, like 15-, 16-years-old, and I'd always bring my guitar, and all my friends would be like, sing one of the Smokey songs. And everything I sang was his music, and I could sound just like him.

I know I have sex appeal, but I've never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me.

I try to keep my ear to the streets without sacrificing who I am as an artist. If a song needs a drum machine I'll use a drum machine. If it needs a drummer, I'll use a real drummer.

I just really always try to do what's in my heart and I'm still passionate about the music; I still love what I am doing.
