A cocktail done right can really show your guests that you care.

There is something urbane, stylish, and worldly about owning a cocktail shaker.

I suppose my look, the way I play - you combine all that sort of stuff and that makes people interested in what I actually do. So then, when off-the-field stuff happens... I suppose it's one of those cocktail mixes.

I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.

As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it's hard sometimes as a new artist to come across in 25 minutes. You get 25 minutes to hopefully impress these people. I think the longer set is more suitable for us and gives us an opportunity to connect better.

I don't think 'Cocktail' was a perfect critical success, but it touched a vein in our culture.

Never trust any complicated cocktail that remains perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.

A cocktail can be made by the bartender. But the cocktail also can be made by the chef.

As far as a cocktail, I do like good wines, basically with meals, and good champagnes.

It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of making drinks myself.
