All Those Reports That I Sleep In

In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, There Was A Teenage Girl Who Was Pregnant With Her Second Child. She Was A High School Dropout And A Single Mom, But Somehow She Managed To Make A Better Life For Herself And Her Children. She Encouraged Her Kids To Be Creative, To Work Hard And To Do Something Special. That Girl Is My Mother And She's Here Tonight. And I Just Want To Say, I Love You, Mom. Thank You For Teaching Me To Dream.

Thank God For The Italians, The Most Forgiving People Of The World. And They Sing So Loud You Can Barely Hear The Music!

Love Isn't Who You Can See Yourself With. It's Who You Can't See Yourself Without.

There Are Always Going To Be People That Are Judgmental That Are Going To Say, 'well, He Was An Actor First, So He Doesn't Have The Right To Be A Musician,' Or, 'i Know Him As This, So Therefore I Will Never Accept Him As That.' I Can't Change Those People. I Can Only Be Myself. And I Can Only Keep Making Art. I Can Only Do The Best That I Can. I Am Not Going To Spend My Life Trying To Silence The Critics. I'm Going To Do What I'm Passionate About And Follow My Dreams.

Louisiana Is A Place That You Escape, Not A Place That You Leave.
