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.

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.

I started writing an album on flights to Africa and Brazil, but it was crazy because I left the notebook on the plane. It had seven or eight songs in it. After that, I'm not writing any more songs on notebooks - and I keep my Blackberry close!

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

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

When there is hope, there is life.
