My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.

I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.

If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

If there's a pool I love to hangout there and layout and get some sun. If I can ever find a second to get some sun, some Vitamin D, I will do so.

I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

Music is not just a part of my everday life, I'm surrounded by it every minute.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

Those who seek eternity find a mind of infinity

Really, what I'm aiming for is world domination!

I was a sportsman for years. I've always had a physical background. I've always had an interest in boxing and fighting. To get physical in films is a dream. I love it.

Politics is a thing that only the unsophisticated can really go for.

I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.

Exercise is roughly the only equivalent of a fountain of youth that exists today, and its free to everyone.

Throughout my life, I've had different metaphors for freedom. At one time, it was skin diving. In the ocean you feel weightless; you escape from gravity.

The friendship which is to be practised or expected by common mortals, must take its rise from mutual pleasure, and must end when the power ceases of delighting each other.

Looking to Donald Trump's immigration speech can he hang onto his base if he softens his stance on the issue that got him this far?

We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.
