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.

I'm not like a legend that - so I'm sort of in the middle in this sort of gray area where, you know, I'm creating music and I'm not saying there isn't an audience because there is because all of those people go out and spend $80 to $150 on a concert ticket.

For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.

I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.

My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

I'm never satisfied with what I do.
