“It's not hard to create a song, but to write a song that's really going affect somebody? That takes a hell of a lot of time.”
“I think I was 15 the first time I wrote a good song.”
“Women take so long to get ready, but when they get out of the bathroom, they look smokin' hot. That's the struggle of men throughout history, waiting by the door. The wait is so worth it. Always.”
“'Fresh Eyes' was my own little discovery of having been in a relationship for a while and realizing that my favorite part of it is being surprised.”
“I've never cheated on my wife, ever. But to say that it doesn't exist or it doesn't happen and saying you never deal with it would be lying.”
“I'm a singer-songwriter, but we get loud and we jump around. We have dance moves; we freak out. It's really fun, man!”
“You gain a level of fearlessness performing when no one's there to see you.”
“A big part of my upbringing was being with an instrument and kind of figuring myself out through music. So I feel a strong desire in any way that I can to help do that for other kids.”
“I love going places that could sound cheesy but, when you hear them, just sound sincere.”
“I'm a big fan of talking about God. Whether people believe in God or not, that's so fascinating. Or where you go when you die is fascinating.”
“There are pretty girls all over the place. But there are still a lot of people standing strong, doing their thing in loving relationships, actually staying true. I wanted to write an honest love song from that point of view.”
“Whether it's a 16-year old girl, or a mom, or a guy, or anybody, as long as they come up and they're excited to meet me 'cause they've had some sort of relationship with something I've created, it's the coolest thing ever. It never gets old. It's awesome.”
“I'm from New York, so I'm simultaneously a snob and will also eat any pizza you put in front of me.”
“When I get back with band, the lights, and the whole production, that's me with the full artillery. A quick radio performance keeps me sharp for the big show.”
“I had my whole life to write a bunch of crappy songs and then play them in front of people and think, 'All right, that one out of these seven is really good; it's a keeper.' But on this second album, to be honest, I probably wrote about 50 songs where I was just trying to write a hit.”
“There's two things that are tough when you're trying to be a songwriter: Number one is, how do I write a great song? The second thing is, how do I write a great song that's right for me?”
“The alarm on my wife's phone is 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' so that's a great way to wake up.”
“It's a weird business. You're trying to write something that's built on magic, which is pretty stressful.”
“Stevie Wonder makes my heart happy and is my spirit animal. That is all.”
“Anytime I hear songs that are so honest, whether they make the person who's singing it look good or not, there's a level of honesty that resonates with people.”
