I like to challenge myself, to see if I can actually write a pop album that people can connect with lyrically. Musically, it's very accessible - or, at least, I hope so.

I've always thought that reviews and knowing how much your fans appreciate or don't like something, that's the sugar coating. I'm trying not to think about those things.

I'm training myself to go back to the way I used to record before electronic programs.

I see a lot of people of color in my fanbase and at all my shows, and it's really awesome.

I'm never drunk on the road, and since I've got to take care of my voice, smoke is definitely not allowed.

I'm a big fan of the artist Parra, and the way he draws naked women is really cool to see. It doesn't look perverted, it just looks really awesome.

Pop music is awesome, but I like to keep changing it up.
