My philosophy has always been that I hope I have a good enough day to give me another one, I hope that I have a good enough year to give me another year. I know that's cliched, but it's the truth in how I approach my career.

I think anytime you get nominated for an award, its a very humbling thing.

I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.

Any time I get to go home is a joyous occasion.

As a singer, I just want to try to honor what the writers create - and as someone who's trying to write songs, I just hope I can stand in their company and not embarrass myself.

Sometimes you get so jaded, you don't have those initial connections and emotions with music, because you are promoting your own.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.
