I believe a No. 1 song starts happening when it's believable and validating.

I think if you just look at life in a positive way, positive things will happen.

I believe a No. 1 song starts happening when it's believable and validating.

There are things I want to do to be a better human being and a better father.

If I'm happy with the song and it's a hit song or not, for the rest of my life, I can hang my hat on knowing I did the best I could, and I'll enjoy getting out there and doing it. That's all that really matters for me. The icing on the cake is people actually enjoy it and sing it back to you. That's when you know that you've done something great.

As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do.
