I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.

I started my entire journey as an indie artist. Ownership has its benefits and it's just about putting in the work. I'm just working.

The thing that makes me feel powerful is when I make a decision about something and I make it happen.

I went to New York and Miami and hung out by the beach, and I love the American boys, so I wrote a song about it.

If I did a Rock record, it would be equally as truthful because I love Rock. I had to actually sing to Bon Jovi one time and I felt like he believed me. He's one of my favorite artists, so there's nothing better than the truth.

You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.

In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience.
