I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words.

When it's your time, it is your time.

I want people to think of Hawaii and think of palm trees and magical islands and Bruno Mars.

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

Every time I try to write a song, when I sit down and think I'm going to write, I really want to write a song, and it never works out. It's always when it hits me unexpectedly on a plane or right before I go to bed, something like that.

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.
