There might be some of them that don't care. To me, it's important that my fans know how much I appreciate them.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

Once I made up my mind that music was what I wanted to do, I never looked back.

I couldn't write a song to save my life. I wouldn't say that I started to panic, but I was definitely getting frustrated. I couldn't even cross a t or dot an i.

I keep a pretty tight grip on my schedule and I compare it a lot to a fireman's - a four-on then four-off type of deal.

Family is fun, way more fun than music.
