I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

I grew up having to care what people think; it was part of my job.I've been built up and torn down, built up and torn down. It's been difficult to tune people out, especially in the las few years. Now i'm starting to care more about me and not what everybody else thinks.

Even listening to a lot of other music inspires me, too. Like I'll find something and be like, "I love this group!" And I want to write something that's kind of like this.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I'm gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens.

I signed my deal when I was 11, and the success I had, no one could explain that to an adult, what's about to happen to them, much less a kid. There's not many people around who've experienced that.
