Quote
1
Commitment and marriage are two different things, and in my mind, right now, they're in a very far off place. But it takes a lot of patience and I give it a lot of respect.
2
I would say that it (being on the MMC) was the experience of a lifetime. We got to do all spectrums of the business, not just singing and dancing, but acting too. It's something that will be with us for the rest of our lives, it was a great experience.
3
Being in the studio, I get to be creative. And, uh, I'm the guy in the group who likes jazz, so I have a tendency to take, like, all the songs we do and make up little jazz versions.
4
Everyone thinks I like to sleep. It's not that I like to sleep, it's that I don't like to get up! There is a difference.
5
The beauty of music is that everyone hears it their own way and every song you hear leaves an impression on you that alters the way you hear everything from that point on.
6
I think I look for a muse in women. Someone I can just picture in my mind. Someone who respects herself and others. It isn't so much the things she says, it's mainly what she does. That's what make her all the more beautiful.
