And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the Army, so he could help me in that direction.

I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star.

The song is about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me...

I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.

Sometimes, reading my own media, the negativity can upset me, but I just deal with things on a positive basis. I mean, I have up to 20,000 people singing my words back to me on a nightly basis - they share my hopes and fears, and they relate to my own life experiences. Life can be pretty isolating, but that connection is always amazing.

This will be my first visit [to Israel]. I've heard it's a special place, that Tel Aviv is exciting and that the atmosphere is excellent....I hope I'll have time to visit the holy places.

I always wanted to be a Muppet.
