I don't want to believe my own hype. I want to stay hungry and stay eager and be the best that I can be.

In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.

I am very honest, even in interviews.

I love theatrics and have a huge imagination: Why would I want to sit onstage and sing a bunch of ballads back-to-back?

It's amazing how a truly great songwriter can touch anyone in the world with their words.

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
