I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

I miss that sensation of a small achievement feeling like a really big deal.

I may never get my own action figure, but at least I think what I'm doing is really legitimate musically.

I love to play music.

I live in a bus and go from place to place and sometimes feel very detached from what's going on.

I like to do the splits onstage.

I happen to be a guy who also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with Billy Joel.

I guess I'm happy that I'm getting the attention. Otherwise, I'd just be playing in a local bar in front of my family members, and I'm sure they'd get sick of that in no time.

I don't want to see Superman replaced with Superboy.

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.

I don't take my clothes off in my videos.

I don't really take a step back too often to see what's going on.

I could tell it was a popular move as a writer to walk down the bass lines while you were writing a song.

I can do a gig without an instrument.

But I've never considered myself any kind of heartthrob. It sounds painful.
