If I don't see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It's very visual.

I listen to a lot of music. But I definitely haven't looked at an artist and like thought I want to have a song like this.

I was genuinely happy when I wrote that song [Training Wheels] and very in love. That's a very rare emotion to evoke out of me.

I'm always going to hear people make that connection and I've just accepted it. It's alright. I'm just happy that I get to do my own thing now. I learned a lot from the show [the Voice] as far as being in the TV world and being in front of the camera, which is really great because I'm not as nervous in front of the camera as I was before.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

A lot of people say if you can't love yourself, then you can't love others. It's always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I should be treated differently.
