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 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 want to go to Berkeley and major in music.

My style philosophy is: Be comfortable.

Can't sleep unless the TV is on.

I'm not about being sexy. I'm about the music.

It's a little awkward to know that the world is going to see you and your mom argue about stupid things and watch me get grounded...again.
