people upset compliment
Someone asked me the other day, 'Do you get upset when people say you are the young Frank Sinatra?' It doesn't upset me. It is a huge compliment, but it is false.
people singing genres-of-music
I am singing a genre of music that people are very protective of. I am being compared to the greatest vocalist of all time.
way newspapers dry-sense-of-humor
When I say something funny in a newspaper and I meant it to be funny, it doesn't read that way.
dream kids insecure
I can't sit and compare my trouble to Brian Wilson but I came from a blue-collar family of fishermen. Music was an escape and a way for me to dream of better things and a better place to be. Let's just say I was an insecure, scared kid.
song children home
On social media and [in person] I hear stories of how a song like "Home" helps. Whether it's a guy overseas coping with missing his family or something deeper and terribly dramatic. Somebody once told me that ["Home"] is the song they listen to when they go to the cemetery to visit their child that passed away. It gives them hope. At the end of the day, that's all what I want to offer people.
identity honest being-honest
I struggled more with my identity. Let's be honest - early on in my first records, I didn't have the power to tell David Foster or other producers what to do.
hurt trying credibility
As I look back, I understand what [the record company] was getting at. They were trying to market a record and make it as commercially acceptable as possible. It hurt me and my credibility with critics.
I like my job but it's not who I am.
laughing people giving
I love that I'm able to take people away just for a little while. Even if they come to my show and it's an escape from taxes or heartbreak or a shitty workplace experience - all those human beings I get to sing for laugh and emote with give me more happiness than I could ever give them.
kids people get-better
A lot of subjects blend into the same thing: intolerance. When you're a little kid, you don't know that it's going to get better. Your life experience hasn't told you that. I want to protect those people. I want to send out a message and at least try to get that across.
hurt pain son
If [my son] had any pain in feeling that he couldn't express to me, that would hurt.
artist proud comfort
A lot of artists talk about getting out of their comfort zones and being the most proud of their newest album. But it is true for me. I rethought a lot of what I do.
world complicated
As I've gotten older and the world has gotten far more complicated .
kids boys racism
The fact that there's a more open discussion about everything from feminism to racism . . . I look at my two boys . . . this is their future I'm talking about. When I'll be long gone, it'll be them and their kids. I know that sometimes the darkest times are followed by the lightest. Sometimes bad things have to happen for good things to happen. At the very worst, we're having very open discussions, discussions about things we didn't even know f - king existed. I talk to my friends about it and they are absolutely shocked. They didn't even know.
