I've always been heavily engaged with my fans on the internet from day one. That connection's one of the reasons why I've been able to enjoy such longevity in my career.

Well, Tommy Lee Jones is a little bit more intimidating. He's definitely a cowboy. He's from Texas.

I felt like a dork growing up.

It wasn't until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music

I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.

Even if I don't have the money to take vocal lessons, I'll practice in the house by myself singing out loud.

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.
