I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.

Be in control. Know who you are. And don't try to be different just to be different.

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 just know that I'm a fan of all different kinds of genres. You're supposed to be free doing music, and that's how I feel.

I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.

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

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