Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

I like how my body feels when I'm in shape; I love how it feels after I work out each day. Fitting in the clothes I like to wear comfortably and living a healthy lifestyle is important to me.

Whenever I'm on tour and I'm in my hotel room and I'm writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I'm writing in there. It's just what I love to do.

I don't like being vulnerable. I feel uncomfortable in it.

Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about.

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

Songwriting is like a therapy, it's a connection that you have with another person, and I'm not scared of it at all for some reason.
