Santa Monica was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But its not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.

I don't talk about my past; people ask me about it. I've done things I'm ashamed of, but one thing I can honestly say is that things I've done that I regret, I've never done twice. I work really hard at that.

I just wanna be a rock star!

You dont have control of the car, but you can drive it. Life takes you where it wants you to go and where you need to go.

Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.

I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.

If you cant say it in three minutes, I dont want to know about it.
