I have a string of competitiveness in me. It's really strange 'cause it's not something that I would even expect myself to have, but every now and then it kinda sneaks out, you know.

Anytime I can go fly for a few hours, I go. It's stressful and stress-relieving at the same time.

There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.
