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

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

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 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 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!

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.

The staff, stage managers, ushers all behaved as if they respected the actors.
