Encore' was an experiment. 'Encore' was the second chance at a first impression. 'Encore' was not completely planned.

I've got some crazy, stupid big goals. I really wanna headline arenas. I wanna have such a big crew that we've got to have 20 or 30 buses on the road because that's how big the show we're putting on is.

My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

I'm very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it. It's about accepting who you are and what you want to become and knowing all that you've got to work with, whether it's good or bad. My music was the only place I could be me for the longest time.

I write for myself. I don't write because I have a record coming out. I write because I want to. I need to.

I truly believe that when you've found the one you're searching for, you become a better version of yourself. You're better for it.

I'm a nerd. Total geek. I never went to homecoming or prom or anything.
