I guess if I had to classify myself, I'd say I'm straight.
I think, for me, one of the biggest things that I struggle with is keeping the excitement up when writing a song. A lot of times, I'll get pretty frustrated early on.
You can't just be a musician; you have to be an entertainer and perform and act just to hit the bar.
The album cover of 'Death of a Bachelor' is me on my roof of my backyard, so that's my place where I spend most of my time writing.
If I could play Jean Valjean, I think that would be the pinnacle.
When you can't put your finger on it, that's the most exciting stuff.
I really like musicals - 'The Music Man,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'Li'l Abner,' 'Annie Get Your Gun.'
My music library is all over the place. I've got A$AP Rocky; I've got Billy Joel. I've got, like, Celine Dion albums that I just worship. There's all kinds of different stuff.
I have no qualms: no shame, no guilt, no embarrassment. I tend to act out a lot.
I love being the center of attention. I'm shameless about it.
The first show we ever played was at my church.
I love Frank Sinatra. He is one of my biggest all-time idols.
I've done a collaboration with Action Bronson, which is, like, the coolest thing I've done so far.
I mostly listen to things that are so different because there's something so intriguing about trying to understand where someone is coming from.
I'm so excited for 30. I hear it's OK. I'll probably do the same stuff, but I'll be more comfortable being who I am.
I love Journey and Fleetwood Mac.
I don't listen to a ton of rock music.
I'm a pretty good drummer. I'm pretty good at guitar, bass and piano. I can play accordion; I'm not virtuoso. I've played cello before. My sister played it, and I know how to play it, but I'm not the best. Violin is kind of the same thing.
Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.
Luckily, my wife is amazing. She's one of the few people in my life I'm completely honest with. I've told her everything about my past. She knows me inside and out. There's no secrets at all.
