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

I'd like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

You should work at everything you do and try to perfect it as best you can.

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 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.

I put everything in God's hands, asking him to give me strength and understanding. I asked him to help me to be strong for my family and that he would continue to take care of us. One day, shortly after that, I woke up really inspired.
