I'm all about unity and loving your neighbor... If somebody told me when I was growing up that the music I was listening to was stupid, and I listened to them, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I love Christmas. I'm totally the 'decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super-early' guy.
I love acting, but music is so much more rewarding because it's more personal.
I have met so many of my idols - like Ray Charles, Brian Setzer - all these cats that are legendary musicians. If they had said to me, 'Hey man, I'm busy,' it would have crushed my soul.
I grew up on old music. I'm just not really into the new stuff.
When I picked up the guitar for the first time, it opened up a whole new world for me. I became obsessed with writing and playing.
I always loved comic books when I was growing up, and Spider-Man was definitely a character I gravitated towards because I loved the story of an average teenager having super powers.
We're going to be human, and we are going to make mistakes, but you really should understand the power that you have and embrace it in a positive way.
My fans are all pretty cool, you know; I've never really seen anybody fighting on Twitter, no death threats, no harsh language, no gay slurs, nothing like that.
My favorite sport is baseball; my cousin is pitcher Heath Bell.
My first two records were influenced by the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
I was scrolling through my Twitter feed one day, and somebody had tweeted me a picture of Justin Bieber that had been Photoshopped with makeup or something. And I thought it was funny and so I hit retweet - I just retweeted a tweet - and all of a sudden, the remarks were coming in.
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old.
I would rather be on stage playing to 25 people with a band I love and the music I love than learning dance moves I don't want to do for 25,000 people.
