I want to make the songs good. I think this is my main focus.

I think that this win [Grammy] in particular was a cool moment for me and the director [Emil Nava], because it was the first award he's ever won.

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

Moments is about a girl dying and her boyfriend committing suicide because he can't live without her

I was on some TV shows with Lady Gaga the other week, and you could see the difference in reaction between her fans and my fans outside. She comes out, and she looks like a star, and the reaction is just tears, crying, people going, 'Oh my God, Oh my God.' My fans are like: 'Alright, Ed.'

I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.
