And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line

Every artist should want to be like Michael Jackson

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience.

Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.

We all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
