You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).

My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.

People can hear my songs are coming from something real. I mean what I say; I'm not just writing to impress critics or young girls, or older girls. The way I talk is the way I write a song.

Ever since I was a kid, this was all I wanted to do. I've wanted to do music. I wanted to sing. It's all I know.

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're are amazing just the way you are.

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