Now my music is kind of pop-rock, right? If I'm 25 and singing still, I don't want to be singing music like that.

I actually didn't want to have control of the writing on my first album. To write, you have to have time to connect with yourself. I don't have that time right now, because I'm so busy.

Then you don't know. You can't know what it feels like to meet a person and suddenly know without a doubt that the whole purpose of your life so far-every choice you made, every twist of fate along the way-was just a journey to get you to that person. My life started when I met Clea. Every minute without her is just killing time until we can be together again.

It's hard to stay true to yourself and what you want in life when there are so many distractions and so much craziness going on around you.

I ate a bug once. It was flying around me. I was trying to get it away. It went right in my mouth. It was so gross!

I want to collaborate. I'm a big believer in collaboration.

I also love Dido and Nelly Furtado and people who are really into their music like that. And I love Renee Zellweger.
