I'm a bargain shopper.

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 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.

My style philosophy is: Be comfortable.

I love to dress myself. I have a unique style, but I don't try to do that - I just put on whatever I feel good in that day.

The funny thing is a lot of people assume that my parents are the ones pushing me to make music. The truth is that I'm the one dragging them along on this crazy ride. They'd much rather have a normal life, but it doesn't look like that's in the cards.

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.
