When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I'm not thinking about what needs to be on the radio. I'm not thinking about anything other than - I'm just going to let this music come out of me and not have any sort of preconceived notion of what I should do. I'm just going to do it.

It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to.

I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.

This year I've really decided to get into the best shape of my life, and I've gotten there by changing not only what I eat but when I eat and how often, as well as my usual workout routine. The combination has made such a big difference, and I finally feel in the best shape of my life.

I just want to be as creative as I possibly can.
