The best songs that I write usually come in, like, two minutes, and I think a lot of songwriters would probably say those kind of songs that come just like that are the good ones.

The songs that you work and work and work on sometimes are just forced and not as good.

I just love to sing, so like my dad's advice when I was younger - anytime you get a chance to sing, just go out there and do it! I truly just love the actual singing.

It's not bad to stand in front of 20,000 people and sing. It's nerve-racking, a huge adrenaline rush, but it's also very exciting, and not many people get to experience that. It's pretty special.

The way that I write songs is pretty simple. I hear music first, much like you would when you're scoring a film. I usually hear a soundtrack in my head, and after I get that soundtrack, it tells me what it's about, what it feels like, what the emotion is, and the words come after.

I have wanted to sing for as long as I can remember. Literally, since maybe the second grade. I don't think there was one turning point where I said, "This is it".
