I remember going with my mom to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking what a cool treasure hunt that whole world was. Only to transition as an adult to think, 'What a gross place that really is.'

I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.

I'm able to come and do a new sound and grow even more and make greater songs because my song-making abilities have grown.

I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.

I don't know about living on an automatic pilot, but I've had times where I've decided to just test myself and my mettle, and for no good reason other than it's what life is. Even before I was acting, I had, like, one day in high school I decided to just show them my pajamas, just for no good reason.

I’m just a big, hairy, American winning machine!

When you're doing an out-and-out comedy, the notion of preparing for a character - I hope I don't reveal too much of myself here - but, uh, no, I'm not doing anything.
