When grandpa was ill and could've died, I would have swapped all my record sales so he could get well. He is the reason I am a singer. He was my best friend growing up.

I truly thought I'd never come back to music.

I have the most eclectic audience - I've got gay, I've got straight, black, white, rich, poor, young, old, in 45 countries. And they don't all come because I'm the Sinatra kid, though that's a big part of it. My biggest successes have come from pop songs that I write myself.

I love Christmas. I'm really sentimental about it. My parents made it awesome for us, and we were allowed to be kids for a long time.

Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.

I never fight for the money, but every person is different.

The tax money belongs to the taxpayers. It doesn't belong to the bureaucracy. And government is not a welfare system.

I merely consider myself a father, and one role of a father is to provide financial resources for his family.
