I'm the Nickelodeon version of DangerMouse.

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

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 just really care about what people see. I want them to know that I'm working hard for this. The artists that I look up to like, you know, Michael, Prince, James Brown. You watch them and you understand that they're paying attention to the details of their art. And they care so much about what they're wearing, about how they're moving, about how they're making the audience feel. They're not phoning it in. They're going up there to murder anybody that performs after them or performs before them. That's what I've watched my whole life and admired.

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

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?

I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.
