For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

Besides, I’m a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.

I think they want to keep it separate, but I’ve never been a crossover artist for some reason.

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!

A Harvard Medical School study has determined that rectal thermometers are still the best way to tell a baby’s temperature. Plus, it really teaches the baby who’s boss.

My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people’s opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.

If I hurt someone, if I were to accidentally poke someone’s eye out, I would laugh. And then I’d say, ‘I’m sorry, I really do feel bad,’ but then I’m on the floor rolling.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don’t spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

I feel like dress socks differentiate you in a different way – especially men in suits who just have the traditional business suit. The dress sock is the way to change it up in your mind and I like wearing my pants up higher so you see them.

Somewhere around the fifth or seventh grade I figured out that I could ingratiate myself to people by making them laugh. Essentially, I was just trying to make them like me. But after a while it became part of my identity.

[On his early day in the music business] I stepped on a lot of toes… at that time.

I guess you have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.

I don’t display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has but I’ve developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician’s life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.

I love artists who take risks-I think they inspire everybody else about horrible situations that no one wants to discuss.

How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own?

See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.

I just LOVE lip gloss! It doesn’t matter if it’s $2 or $30.
