“I thought I wanted to be a clown, because what would be better than making people laugh?”
“I think I'm genuinely sincere, and that's what hopefully makes it work. I take that very seriously when I'm writing.”
“I'm a humble guy, but I'm audacious.”
“I grew up a huge jock, a lot of basketball and football. We had a pond in my back yard growing up, and we played a lot of hockey, too. I loved to score goals.”
“For each person, they live their life and their truth and how it works for them, and that's just kind of how it works for me. I'm not good at doing whatever the other way is - it wouldn't work for me.”
“I love 'Seinfeld.'”
“You have to do what you want to do, and I genuinely believe that if you start interacting in the world that way that there is a respect in that.”
“I am happy to join AutoNation in the fight against cancer. This disease hits close to home for me with the loss of my mom in 2009. Raising awareness and finding a cure is really important to me.”
“I tend to be an all-in-type of guy, so I get in a zone to write, and then that's all I do. I'll spend eight hours doing nothing but chasing that one song. That's what works for me.”
“I love magic. Like, 'pull a scarf out of your fake thumb' magic. I have a legit bag of 'Magic Stuff' in my garage.”
“The fact that 'Honey, I'm Good' made such a splash and that people were catching it on radio, on Spotify, on Pandora, it's driving everybody to go hear the album.”
“As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.”
“When I hear an interview that I've done, and I've said 'like' a bunch of times, it just cheapens the sentiment.”
“I know that sounds almost horribly cheesy, but that is what has to happen if you're gonna make a relationship work for a long time: You have to keep learning new things that are interesting about this person or having them catch you off guard and have these little moments of intense appreciation.”
“It's really fun to have the spotlight and feel ready for it. Not in a conceited way. But just like, 'Man, I think I'm going to give you what you need.'”
“Everyone deals with temptation. It's just there.”
“The fact that people put on 'Honey, I'm Good' to get their day started - that's really sweet.”
“I am so blessed and lucky.”
“You can't have Thanksgiving and not just be like, 'All right, where's the football.' It's been branded very, very well. You can't have one without the other at this point.”
“The first album was more born from busking - they were the 'me-and-my-guitar' songs. Going out on the road and opening for big acts changes you. You look out at those audiences and start to think, 'OK, I need to write some music that's a little bit bigger.'”
