My dad was just the king of finding these little spots for us to stay that we should never have been staying at.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.

I'm a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful' and Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' - songs that go straight to the point.

Songwriters, you have to work - you have to wait for residuals. You have to pray that the song's going to be a hit. And then a year later, you might get a check.

Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent; got kiss myself I'm so pretty.
