I think that it's important to have good people around you, like my friends.

It makes me feel so amazing to know there's people out here that support me and follow me on Twitter and watch my shows on YouTube and come to my concert, so I'm very thankful.

Find out whats possible, If you never give up.

I thought it would be cool to Skype with fans on their birthday and spend, like, a half-hour with them. I did a couple of two-hour Skypes. I just hang out with them and play songs and stuff. At first they're kind of shy, but after a while they open up. I've had a lot of people tell me I'm doing something no one has ever done before.

I do a lot of co-writing with my producer RedOne, and then a lot on my own. I just like to be creative.

They're just opinions, what people say about you. None of that stuff's true. The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself.
