I listen to a pretty wide variety of albums so as to get influenced by nothing particular.

I tend to not try and listen to a lot of other artists while I'm writing, because if I hear something that's brilliant.

I want to play a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is where the New York Knicks play. That's what I want.

I'd say Ernest Hemingway would be a blast to get drunk with.

Hold your head high heavy heart.

I'm a goof. I talk too much. I tell stories. I tell cheesy Dad jokes. I'm theatrical and I'll mix things up and I'll surprise people. Those are the things that I just do because that's who I am.

A true measure of success is just to work hard and get my music out there and just be myself and be real.

I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.

Johnny Depp and I think Woody Allen would be fun to hang out with.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.

Oh, Marilla, I thought I was happy before. Now I know that I just dreamed a pleasant dream of happiness. This is the reality.

Logic will get you from A to Z

We're actually making stuff in America now. We're exporting stuff. We're inventing things.

I think it's important for the viewers at home to have something accessible and attainable.

It seems to me that we spend an inordinate amount of time and attention on fixing ourselves when we could really be directing that out to serving others.

Application of your faith will change your life

Remember, Lord, my ship is small and thy sea is so wide!

I've always fought for what I believe in. I used to get made fun of for dancing, and I would argue back, or fight the kids, or do whatever I had to do to shut them up. I have that in me.

It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.

By that sin fell the angels.
