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

I want to find someone who's really into something like I'm really into something, so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. 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'm a nerd. Total geek. I never went to homecoming or prom or anything.

A good album can make your day. A great album can change your life.

I've always been shy, but I see that as a good thing because it kept me focused on music. When I was in seventh grade, I asked my parents for a mobile recording system for Christmas, and I got it. I didn't come out of my room for years after that. I'd get invited to the movies and I'd say, 'I'm gonna finish a couple of demos.'

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

I love flying planes.
