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.

'Doo-wop' is a very special word for me. Because I grew up listening to my dad who, as a Fifties rock & roll head, loved doo-wop music.

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

I love artists like Prince, who hold on to that element of mystery.

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

If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
