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

Doo-wop is special music to me because it's so straightforward and melody-driven and captures emotions.

You're amazing, just the way you are.

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.
