"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."

"I love my wife and I know she loves me. We're best friends. We're just lucky to have found each other. It takes a lot of work but I just feel very blessed that I found the right person. It's a very fortunate situation and not everyone has that."

"My dad and mom believed that you do what you have to do in private and don't make a big deal out of it. Just try to help people as much as you can."

"My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person."

"I've always believed that there are funny people everywhere, but they're just not comedians. In fact, some of my best comedic inspirations were not professional entertainers."

"Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me."

"My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic."

"The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature."
