Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive. Wait until they hear my new album.

I love that I wrote with all kinds of different people.

I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity.

When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.

I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely, nothing else to do but close my mind. I sure hope the road don't come to own me, there's so many dreams I've yet to find. But you're so far away.

I'm a songwriter first.
