When I'm writing my album, it's totally my world. Even though it's myself and another producer creating the project, Conceptually it's more under my power and on my own terms. At the same time, it's a different type of pressure because I'm ultimately speaking, I'm solely responsible for the end result.

You must act as if it's impossible to fail.

I have always been able to write on the spot. It is a talent that I guess comes naturally.

It's pretty much, having everything on your shoulder versus depending on an entire team.

Rivers of tear drops, these sharp pains in my heart, if this was the way that you love, you never should have loved me

I have a tremendous amount of respect for military families. To have to worry about your loved ones and still try and live a normal life is extremely hard.

Music comes from the soul. It's a way to express yourself, so we always, always need to save the music.
