“A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don’t know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn’t have cash on him.”

In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line.

I got so much love for classical music and I hear so much incredible music.You should know a bunch of music and have respect for all sorts of genres and styles of music.

If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you.

There’s always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.

My goals are – I don’t need much. I’m a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I’m having fun doing music, I’m happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I’m really happy.

I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I’m learning every day. And that’s the fun part.

Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.

I feel, as a songwriter, it’s one of the hardest things to do – to sit down and say how you feel.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.

What I’m hoping is that every album I’m going to do will give my audience something different, and that they’ll grow as I do.

It’s probably the worst feeling in the world, when you’re deeply and madly in love with a woman and you know she’s not feeling you the same way, and you don’t know why.

You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It’s not super-poetic, it’s just from the heart.

When I scramble and do those things, I try to look downfield, look for the playmakers, put it in their hands, and let them make all the big plays happen.

It’s a challenge for all quarterbacks, though: You want to make the big play; you want to throw a touchdown every single play. But at the same time, you have to know that it’s a process.

I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find the perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one.

On some days, getting up to face the day itself is a big win for your heart.

I pray you to find a heart that would be way too big to love in any shallow way.

Be around people that make your problems seem smaller and the possibility of life much bigger.

Don’t force yourself into crevices that are much too small For your big, wild heart.

You talked a big game for someone who never actually played.
