The way I grew up, I was always taught that it's uncouth to talk about money, and that's not what should inspire you.

I grew up in Tennessee where you either play football or you don't do anything at all. So I was a bit of loner, being interested in music.

I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention everything changed for me. My mom likes to joke that until I was eight or nine I only knew what my sneakers looked like because I constantly walked around with my head down. But all of a sudden the stage made sense and that's what brought me out of my shell and a monster was created.

I'll get you naked by the end of this song.

Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head.

Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.

The Internet is a really strange place to be.
