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.

I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.

The confidence Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson exuded from stage, I'm a fan of.

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

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

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her.
