At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

When you discover your sexuality - like when you're little, you don't notice it. Then suddenly you're walking down the street and you're whistled at. And you're like, Oh, I have this power I didn't know about. And you also discover you're kind of prey. And you're like, Wait, that's confusing.

And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.

This last year I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that, and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up.

Oh yea FORTUNATELY the girls are a lot braver then the guys, they flirt all the time.

Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I've ever done - by far.

When you write a great song, it just blows you away. When you write a song that connects with people around the world - I mean like it actually transcends language barriers - you see how it can affect people, and it's quite a tall order to follow up on.
