If you're a good singer, you're going to make anything sound good.

I consider myself a bassist first.

Whenever I'm feeling kind of down or something like that, or even good, the song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen is a go-to song of mine. It's like watching a movie, but with your ears.

In my spare time I like watching TV, laying on the couch, just chillin'.

What I really like doing is taking risks, musically.

I'm a car singer, in fact sometimes I pretend to take my dog out for a walk, and I'll just drive him around and start singin'.

I feel like there's no subject that can't be sung about. I wrote a song dedicated to people with inflammatory bowel disease, and then I wrote about shoes. And mangoes. Every rock should be turned.

If I shave, I don't have a chin anymore.

I like kissing people because it's funny.

I have musical ADD, so I like to switch things up.

You know I want to sing for people, I want to jazz people up I want to make new music that they've never heard.

I see you're a man with ideals. I better be going before you've still got them.

A happiness trick:do more things that make you happy, and you'll be happy more often.

So young and yet already carrying a great burden on her shoulders. Do not worry, my dear, I will make sure you can protect yourself and others. Because you are our hope … sweet, darling … Arima.

I unfortunately don't have a stage name, I don't have a celebrity that I can hide behind, so every time I show my ID at an airport person or get carded at a bar, it's always interesting.

Those who love most, see most.

All fits of pleasure are balanced by an equal degree of pain or languor; it is like spending this year part of the next year's revenue.

I have been poor and I have been rich. Rich is better.

In a world where there is so much to grieve and so little good to take? I grieve nothing. I take everything.

I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.

When I came back to America, I realized that world music is no joke, it really has a lot to it.
