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

All the people I hung out with were musicians.

I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

I don't believe in making a record and rushing it.

Meeting Stevie Wonder was a massive, lifetime achievement for me. He's one of the sweetest people. I sense a kindred spirit in him, and I hope he'd say the same. Actually, he did.

The rule of songwriting: say what you want to say, say it again, say it a different way, then say it again.

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