dad years new-orleans
Well, my dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years.
song singers actors
Singers, like Frank Sinatra and myself, we interpret the songs that we like. Not unlike a Shakespearean actor that goes back to the greatest words ever written, we go back to the greatest songs and bring about my interpretation of them.
fun men thinking
I'm really boring, man. Like, I'm really dull. And I think people may think that I have this glamorous, fun lifestyle, but it's pretty dull. But that's what I like.
writing orchestra stuff
Not everybody gets to record with an orchestra, and not everybody that gets to record with an orchestra gets to write all their own stuff.
mistake thinking records
I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think he was the end-all. I love his lack of inhibition, his talent, the chances he took. He made mistakes on his records, and he didn't care.
daughter mother dad
I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he's genuinely interested in what she's going through.
uncomfortable-situations feels knows
You know, I feel as comfortable in an uncomfortable situation as I do when things are going smoothly.
kind life-is spontaneous
My life is spontaneous and things just kind of happen.
feelings stage
I just liked the feeling of being on stage.
years ego jerk
I have a big ego, and I'm a confident person, but when it comes down to being a jerk, that doesn't work for me, I tried it... for about ten years.
sorry wife reason
I say sorry to my wife about five times a day for various reasons.
girl fashion mean
I've raised my girls in a sort of genderless fashion. I mean, I'll take them to get their nails done - I actually love doing that - but I also play ball with them. As a result, my girls are tough and athletic and game for everything.
love men people
If your record doesn't sell that well, man, who cares? All the satisfaction I need... comes when I step out onstage and see the people. That's awesome. I love that.
passion my-passion
Everything I do is part of my passion.
