My favorite thing in the world was to make people sing - until I made people laugh. Then that became my favorite thing in the world.
I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.
If you're a young person, like I used to be and you're at home and you're being called weird or different, I'm here to tell you your critics do not count. Their words will fade. You won't.
It's not a bad Thing to fall in Love...
Even as a kid I would find the one person whose attention I didn't have and I would zone in on that person. It became a challenge.
True love, to me, is when she's the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up, and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep.
I can give you my personal opinion: love the music, hate the business. It's a screwball business, and there are a lot of players who will straight-up lie to you.
I have 20,000 girlfriends, all around the world.
Every time you do a project, you learn something new.
I kiss people with my soul. I don't kiss them with my mouth.
The way I grew up, I was always taught that it's uncouth to talk about money, and that's not what should inspire you.
I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.
I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.
I'm a very melody-driven writer and I have a rule that I don't write anything down because if I can't remember the melody than it wasn't worth remembering. So it's my way to test myself in the studio. When I was a kid I could sing pretty well so melody always made a lot of sense to me.
