My wife and I are parents to a 4 year old and a 2 year old. It's really important for me to always be there for bath time and breakfast time and on the weekends.

I just try and get better and better at me with every album.

For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.

I think the one thing for me that's been working is just authenticity.

I don't really chase trends and fads because they are fleeting.

I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

I'm kind of embarrassed by how quickly I adjusted to L.A. I really love it. It's so pleasant.

That grief is the most durable which flows inward, and buries its streams with its fountain, in the depths of the heart.

I think it's keeping a surprise element, so that the audience never gets ahead of you. I like to pull the rug out from audiences, I don't like for them to think they know what's happening next.

I’ve seen excitement, and I’ve seen boredom. And boredom was best.
