Quote

All I really want - when I pray , I don't really ask for anything. All I want to do is God's will and make the best decisions I can. I don't go out and preach.

I have no doubt that the government of this great nation will work with its people to lead New Orleans and the Gulf Coast back to an enlightened, proud, safe part of the world.

You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless, but there's a lot of work that goes into it.

I don't really find girls to be any more dramatic or delicate than boys I've known plenty of little boys who've had miserable breakdowns over things... in fact, I was one of them!

You have to do things that do good for you and when there's an uncharted course, you have to figure out how to get through it.

If I keep striving to put on the best quality show based on the values I have, I don't have to think oh we're crossing the line because the line is built in. We follow that and do the best quality work we can.

I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.

Image
I struggle every day with trying to be a better dad, a better husband, better musician, better artist. It consumes me, and I don't see an end in sight.

If you can say the lyrics almost like a poem and they stand up, that's a great thing. Some songs have great lyrics and I don't like the melodies, and vice versa.

Image
I'm a natural piano player. So all the practicing I do at this point is in my head. If I don't play for a year, my chops aren't going to get any worse. I've spent my time playing scales, and I don't necessarily want to play any faster than I play. So everything I do at this point is more philosophical.

The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now, whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers, I would have got into a whole load of trouble.

They don't make you what you are, you do. You are what you choose to be.

I live in Connecticut, but eventually I'd like to move back to New Orleans. I grew up there the pace is a bit slower. Plus, I love crawfish and po'boys.

Golf is good, it means I get some fresh air and exercise, take my mind off work and see some of the landscape of the place I'm visiting.

I'm not a movie star. People know me, but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised, but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing, people are cool.

Image
You know, I feel as comfortable in an uncomfortable situation as I do when things are going smoothly.

I'm not trying to be romantic. I think you can tell when people are trying to be sexy onstage. When I was doing 'All the Way,' I was really thinking about my wife. People don't know my personal experience, but they can tell it's an honest interpretation.

When I'm acting, I'm in a different place, singing is the last thing on my mind, and when I'm on stage, there's no acting at all involved, not even presentation, it's just who I am.

As a character, you're working within the realm of what's on the [script] page.
