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

I didn't want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.

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.

When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

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.

Wait a second Why should you care what they think of you? When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up You don't have to change a single thing.

Be happy and comfortable with who you are, whoever it may be.
