“'The Good Parts' is me telling as much as I can of the deeper sides of myself that I haven't shared before. It's like an onion that gets deeper every time you cut it.”

“Once you see the impact that you have on people, either at a meet and greet or after a show, you think, 'Oh man, they need to feel better today.'”

“I grew up a huge jock, a lot of basketball and football. We had a pond in my back yard growing up, and we played a lot of hockey, too. I loved to score goals.”

“Life is hard, you know. If I can give someone on the radio three minutes to make them feel happier, that's a cool thing.”

“Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours - and, if you're really lucky, full days - where everything feels just right.”

“The fact that 'Honey, I'm Good' made such a splash and that people were catching it on radio, on Spotify, on Pandora, it's driving everybody to go hear the album.”

“There are pretty girls all over the place. But there are still a lot of people standing strong, doing their thing in loving relationships, actually staying true. I wanted to write an honest...”

“I love magic. Like, 'pull a scarf out of your fake thumb' magic. I have a legit bag of 'Magic Stuff' in my garage.”

“The alarm on my wife's phone is 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' so that's a great way to wake up.”

“I love 'Seinfeld.'”
