Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

People never ask people doing serious music, 'Do you ever think about doing funny music?'

I think I don't take myself too seriously. You know as far as, it's a fun life. I take my music serious, but I like to have fun.

As a comedian, you're kind of like a blues musician; you have to live a little bit.

Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.

Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.

I think that there's always room for humour in music. It's something that always takes itself so seriously, which I think is a bit of a shame.

Anybody with a sharp brain and a mic can become a comedian, but there's a need to move beyond it. The audience wants to witness the marriage of theatre, comedy and something more.

When I first started doing my comedy act, I just desperately needed material. So I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.

Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.
