No matter how long what I'm doing here lasts, I want to be a songwriter for the rest of my life. I love it and it's my escape.

It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time, because if you make mistakes, then the whole world knows about it. Like, it's not just your family and friends, it's everyone. Sometimes I'll watch myself on TV and ask myself, What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, "OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd."

When there's a thing you have to do, you have to do it.

It really isn't very glamorous to sing because you have to make all these funny faces to make it sound like the record. You really want to sound the best you can so you have to make all these disgusting faces.

Music is the love of my life. It’s a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpecet and meaningful.

God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed.

I don't want to know what people are doing. Like, I don't need to know who's got a new music video and who's got a new lipstick.
