It feels really great to be popular.

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.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

It feels really great to be popular.

I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music.

I went back and listened to the first three albums I made and tried to figure out what was special about them, why people keep going back to them. I think it was because I didn't know what I was doing. I had no idea if they were going to play it on the radio or anything. All I did was write songs, so that's what I got back to.

Most of the stuff I learned to play, I learned in high school. I had a band in high school, a jazz-fusion thing, and I was the keyboard player. I was interested in how the instruments worked and the theory behind playing with them.
