He was really cool, ... We really connected. His voice just aches.
I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.
I keep things pretty simple.
If Frank Sinatra is singing, maybe everything will go good.
I wear a lot of second hand clothes unless I have a concert and then I wear beaded and sequined second hand clothes. No stylist dresses me although I do have a woman that assists me with the buttons.
Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.
If you listen to old Jerry Lee Lewis records, he'll always - about nine times out of 10 have the lyrics different than the original record is.
I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.
I'm not a very spiritual guy when it comes to music. I remember hearing Carlos Santana say that angels helped him write his songs. And I thought, 'Really, angels?
I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.
I'm a hopeful romantic. In a couple of drinks, I'll be a lucky romantic. That's why they call me Mr. Lucky.
When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a dentist. But I'm so glad I didn't.' Because when I look out and see that I feel like the Pied Piper of love.
I still don't know if I'm good enough or if it's a calling or a vocation or something, but the talent part is out. My desire to do it is undoubted. I just love doing this.
I'm the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I'm also available for children's parties and bar mitzvahs.
