It's the new 'happy Chris,' for kids everywhere,
In the long run, there are people who've made more money or had bigger stardom at points. But, I think I'll have come out winning.
They're over there in harm's way, for right or wrong, on behalf of us. We asked them to go. And I feel for them.
This is a pleasant change for us. We play Vegas. It is nice to be around people who are actually giving something, instead of taking.
He was really cool, ... We really connected. His voice just aches.
I hope it sells millions, ... But more immediately, my real excitement was the idea that Kubrick was somewhere in a room listening to my piece of work and was excited enough by it that he said, 'I want to put that in my movie.'
I'm talking to you right now, looking out at the ocean, it's a sunny day, waves are peeling off, my surfboard is in the back of my car... damn, I love it. I'm a songwriter. Pop singer. What a great job.
When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.
My only expenses are probably guitar strings and records.
I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.
I don't think I've had a more miserable life than a lot of people. I think I've had a pretty lucky life.
I put music on and I drive around town.
I hate modern car radios. In my car, I don't even have a push-button radio. It's just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder, and one knob changes the station. When you're driving, that's all I want.
I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.
