Anybody in the spotlight can get lost in that if they are not careful.

I think most artists start off playing in front of people and are used to doing it before they go out. I kind of did it the opposite. The thing got blown sky high and I'm on TV on "Good Morning America" doing my first performance in front of everybody. I think it was backward and from that, what I got out of it, the end is what I wanted, which was headlining my own tour, having people come because they loved my record and loved my music.

I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the '70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories.

I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.

If you lined up everyone I've ever dated, you wouldn't see any similarities.

I work because I think that I wouldn't feel good about myself unless I was contributing.

I have always been a singer/songwriter and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.
