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

I'm always shy and timid when I write in front of people.

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.

I love 'Breathe' with Taylor (Swift) but I've been performing 'Lucky' with Jason (MRaz) all over the world in the past year so I'm glad that's what won.

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

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

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