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

I could be myself. I'm very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it.

To be the name on somebody's shirt that they've made themselves in preparation for one of your shows - it doesn't get much cooler than that.

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

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.

There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now

Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. But I don't feel like I missed out on a whole lot.
