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.

When I awake dramatically I start off my day by reciting aloud a fan letter.

Everything that happens helps you grow, even if its hard to see right now.

Musically, I actually grew up listening to country music as a kid like George Strait, Alan Jackson... all those guys. So it was kind of weird crossing over from that to pop and R&B, but you know, I love Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo, Usher, R. Kelly, Drake, Boyz II Men.

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

I like girls that have a nice smile and nice eyes. I want to date a girl who understands my busy schedule and that I have to be on tour a lot. And she has to make me laugh!

It's been amazing getting to go from city to city and perform for thousands of people. It's an amazing feeling, and the energy is crazy.
