I always think I'm going to record a lot on tour but it's always hard to fit it in the schedule, and there's a whole lotta' other extra curricular activities that happen on the road.

I was slicking my hair back when I was in sixth grade.

I think, back in the day, when I was first starting to make music, all I wanted to do was to get a record deal.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.

Sometimes when you meet stars, on one hand you're like, "You're who I'm inspired by, you're who I look up to." On the other hand you're like, "I wanna be in the same kind of shoes that you're in." That's how I've always seen myself. Some of me is star-struck, some of me feels like I'm looking at a peer. They're another person who sees the world the same way I do, who already did it. It's inspiring.

If you're not putting enough time into the music, there's not gonna be a whole lot of it. So in my eyes, success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.
