Girls, they just have something that guys don't have. They've got this patience and this motherly thing, we just don't have that same patience as men.Collection: Patience
I don't feel God is what people have said He is throughout generations. For me it's a faith. People sometimes lose the concept of faith.Collection: Faith
I don't know if there's only one God, I don't know if there's a God, I just have a faith that there is. That's what I've grown up with.Collection: Faith
I think Jules has gotten hotter, with age. I mean you should've seen her when I first started dating her - not hot. I've told her that.Collection: Dating
Open communication is the biggest turn-on.Collection: Communication
When you live a truthful life, you can smile without anything behind it; uninhibited joy knowing that you are doing your best to be the best person you can be.Collection: Smile
We're in the best country in the world, it's unbelievable, I've travelled the world, I've lived in other places, from New York to the U.K. and I can never ever get out of those places what I get out of Australia and I think that's enough fuel for me to want to do well.
There's never any time for anything that's remotely kinky, and even when I try to send some kinky stuff, it always gets shut down.
I literally went cold turkey on carbs, didn't have a grain of rice. No pasta, no bread, no booze - I didn't get on that for 10 weeks!
I was a bit of a workaholic in the past and now I realize the importance of making room for what matters in life.
A couple of years ago I undertook the challenge of being on the cover of Men's Health - it was seriously hard work, but I felt amazing.
You've got to think as a listener when you're making a playlist. So I think 'When do I go to certain playlists, what are the moods I'm looking for?' Theme is crucial. People have a feeling and they want the music to be the backdrop to that feeling.
I think of a playlist like a setlist at a concert. The first song is crucial, that establishes the vibe.
Initially I thought I'd get to Memphis and freak out, I thought I was going to feel so inadequate but I got there, and something grabbed hold of me and I just knew this was my arena.
I must say that kids make it a lot harder process, especially having to live the life of a traveling recording artist.
I'd love to be able to take a 8-months off on the coast somewhere, like some of my musician friends, and create an album but instead I have to create what I do in the midst of chaos.
I take in a lot of different styles when I listen to music, but when I'm actually writing a song it comes from a very stripped back place that focuses on melody and soaring choruses that lift-off.
But I wanted to put on a good show and make people believe in my music more than just being another TV artist.
I am trying to get used to living in Sydney and it is not really happening so I might have to get a house in Adelaide somewhere.
If you were watching the Olympics, you absolutely saw a 'Voice' ad. You could not escape that 'The Voice' was on, so it was really well done by Seven.
And I always actually say, 'The Voice' isn't just about trying to find a superstar. We also give a platform to gigging musicians and people who do what they do, and expose them to so many other people to enhance what they do.
Deep down I'm just a suburban Adelaide boy who likes to have a nice burger at Tea Tree Plaza and go to movies on Cheap Tuesday.
I'm living in Sydney now - but you know when you've grown up in a certain place and you end up living in another, you never really quite feel like it's home. You feel like a bit of an impostor. I feel like I'm in a place that's moving faster than I can swim.
I'll generally always get melody first and then I'll go in and try and think of a title and lyrics generally come last.
Some people are great lyricists, but they're terrible at melody. But I could do melodies till the cows come home.
As far as melodies go, I could probably write 100 songs in a day - with no words of course - just because I love melody.
I used to work in a warehouse in Woodville North and we always used to take bets like most places do on Cup day... and I was lucky three years in a row. I always picked the right horse.
Hudson just melts my heart. When I come home, he says, 'Daddy, daddy,' and it just turns my day around.
When you live your life with honesty and integrity, there is nothing that anyone can ever take away from you.
It's always good to be home and see the parents, and hit up my favorite Chinatown cafes for curry chicken rice.
The purpose of my songwriting is to put the things I have been through in a song in order to help others who may be in a similar situation.
Mate I'm eating the most rancid stuff, like frog legs and all sorts of weird stuff. Mate, I'll try anything once.
