I see a lot of true artists... then you see them on the cover of Maxim. That's the lowest of low to me. I would never do anything like that.

I remember writing 'All I Want Is You' and hoping it would get me out of trouble. I haven't stopped writing songs or getting into trouble since.

I auditioned [for America's Most Talented Kids] just to see where I would rank. I had been playing [gigs] around town, and I wanted to see what people thought of me because when I played a show, everyone would clap but I didn't know what they were really thinking.

I want to go to Berkeley and major in music.

I want to be around for a long time, I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I hope I'll be 50 years old and still making music.

I'm more of a comedian. I wouldn't mind being on SNL (Saturday Night Live). I think that would be cool.

I was shopping at my local mall in Dallas that I've gone to for like three years now. And everyone was like "Oh my God, who's that? Who's that?" And I was like whatever, because you know, there are like 20 people traveling with me. It's like I have an entourage following me -- which is so funny.
