When I'm onstage I feel changed.

I'm dating a girl who's pretty levelheaded. She's a nurse. She's a real, normal girl. Which is what I need because my life isn't normal.

I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not. And I'm sure happy with what I've got. I live to love and laugh a lot. And that's all I need.

Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists.

had no excuses for the things that we'd done, we were brave, we crazy, we were mostly young.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm at a point in my career that if I want to take a little bit of a left turn and make an album that is more hushed, more acoustic and more personal, that I can do it.

Ive always been drawn to the ocean.
