I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

As long as I can stay creative and used my mind, it can be 20 hours a day. I sleep four hours, so I've got 20 hours.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

Rhianna don't want you to give her what you think that she wants. She needs you to give her something that's fresh. So you have to bend your voice and bend your personality and bend the music to make sure it sounds like it's new to everybody.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

I wasn't comfortable on stage for years. It was good - 18 shows. I want to do it again.

I feel guilty because I want to act more than I want to write songs. I'm a person who likes to transition; I like to grow.
