When you write an album and you're writing about relationships, the stuff that I've been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it's that one percent that always inspires you to write a song.

I think America sees someone like myself, and they see it's not just a voice. It's the musicality of it all. People see that you can play an instrument and think you can immediately write songs.

I say the stupidest stuff, all the time, off of Twitter, and so I think Twitter is good way for people to get to know the stupid side of me.

If you become a father, you're not doing things for yourself anymore. You're thinking about someone else. And that is not a burden.

I'm not a man of many words, I'm not very expressive or emotional, but it comes out in my music.

The only thing that I really want to do is just be respected in the music industry... And whether that means selling albums or winning Grammys or people just liking your music, thats what I really want to do.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
