I think to be successful at anything you have to put in a hell of a lot of effort. Pick your battles. I picked music, put in a lot of effort, and it's worked.

Paper or razor blade, never give up And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn't just control that thought You'd find me buskin' on the street When it was cold outdoors And now I'm sweating on the stage With the sold out tours Writing love songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit

I don't really do that whole 'single life' thing. I'm kind of heads down and get things done.

'Kiss Me.' That's my 'Twilight' tune, a song you'd have on the 'Twilight' soundtrack.

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.

The tongue has no bones, but can break a heart.

I think I've been around for a while. But I still have to pay my dues.
