I love 'Seinfeld.'

I am so blessed and lucky.

I love me some 'Family Guy.'

I'm a humble guy, but I'm audacious.

I found that music was my favorite art form.

Everyone deals with temptation. It's just there.

We've all got vices, and we're all freakin' trying.

I think I was 15 the first time I wrote a good song.

I don't really connect with super-sad, somber songs.

Only rainbows after rain...The sun will always come again.

As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.

We always need little reminders that it's gonna be all good.

'Dancing With the Stars' was fun, and it opened me up to dancing.

I don't know how to dance, and I don't have any extra flexible skills.

We all need songs that bring out our inner swagger just listening to it.

Stevie Wonder makes my heart happy and is my spirit animal. That is all.

You gain a level of fearlessness performing when no one's there to see you.

To be a good musician, you need to give people what they want, what they need.

Seriously, until I was 16 or 17, I didn't care about anything other than ESPN.

Anywhere in the world is a great gig if the people are pumped to hear some music.

If I write a sad song, at the end it's gotta be like, 'Dude, things are looking up!'

I love going places that could sound cheesy but, when you hear them, just sound sincere.

I thought I wanted to be a clown, because what would be better than making people laugh?

One of my favorite things is to have a three-hour conversation over coffee with someone.

I think if you pick someone that you love, you will continuously fall in love with them.

Sure, yes, there are smoking-hot girls. But my girlfriend's smoking hot, my wife, whatever.

The fact that people put on 'Honey, I'm Good' to get their day started - that's really sweet.

The alarm on my wife's phone is 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' so that's a great way to wake up.

I'm from New York, so I'm simultaneously a snob and will also eat any pizza you put in front of me.

'Honey, I'm Good' is a song about temptation, and we wanted to show what is possible if you can beat it.

It's a weird business. You're trying to write something that's built on magic, which is pretty stressful.

You want to hit people's ears to make them want to dance in their kitchen. So that is what a hit is to me.

Hunger is an issue that I've cared about for a very long time and is incredibly personal and important to me.

When I hear an interview that I've done, and I've said 'like' a bunch of times, it just cheapens the sentiment.

My dad is a children's singer. His name is Red Grammer. He's literally one of the happiest people on the planet.

I love magic. Like, 'pull a scarf out of your fake thumb' magic. I have a legit bag of 'Magic Stuff' in my garage.

It sucked to make my own CDs. I'm bad at that. It sucks to figure out how to power my amp. I don't know that stuff.

I think I'm genuinely sincere, and that's what hopefully makes it work. I take that very seriously when I'm writing.

I'm a singer-songwriter, but we get loud and we jump around. We have dance moves; we freak out. It's really fun, man!

Who are you writing this for? For a commercial reason, or because you want to make great art and give it to your fans?

Life is hard, you know. If I can give someone on the radio three minutes to make them feel happier, that's a cool thing.

When your dad makes a living as a children's singer, you figure, 'I can do anything.' He made up his own job and did it.

One of my passions in life is to try to inspire people. I don't know if that sounds cheesy, but I genuinely love to do that.

It's not hard to create a song, but to write a song that's really going affect somebody? That takes a hell of a lot of time.

My third album, that will definitely be about this little girl and the process of watching your wife get pregnant. It's crazy.

I always try to find things worth saying, things that are supposed to be said instead of being contrived. I do a ton of writing.

Any time you make the transfer of 'I've created something, and I'm giving it to you, and I hope it makes you happy,' that's good.

Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours - and, if you're really lucky, full days - where everything feels just right.

I wrote my first single, 'Keep Your Head Up,' and that's what got me on the radio and helped me develop a whole base around the country.

I really wanted to write a song like Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight.' It's just such a sweet sentiment. It's so simple but so genuine.
