If I did any movies I'd have to take a break from singing, because I'd want it to be really good.

If entertainment years were dog years, man, Id be like Gandhi. Id be like 250 years old.

The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.

As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.

The values my mother taught me were like, if you're going to do something, don't half-ass it. I remember her literally saying that to me. Like the first time I ever heard the term half-ass was coming from my mother's lips. I was probably 8 or 9. If you're going to do something, go ahead and throw 115 percent at it, and if you get 100 percent back, well, there you go - you're perfect.

I just feel like there's something to be said about feeling comfortable with what you have and don't have. And - for instance, I don't think I'm particularly a great singer, but I feel like I write songs that complement my voice, you know, and I feel like it's unique. And I don't feel like I'm particularly a great actor, for instance, but I feel like I approach each thing that I do with some level of sensitivity. And I would say that comedy in general is the most disarming.

I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.
