People don't listen to one radio station. On iTunes you can mix different worlds and bring country and pop and folk and live music together with a mass audience. I could have sung 'Easy' in a country way but I just sang it how I sing. I think it's a really nice blend.

I liked English and art and did a lot of painting. And for some reason I was good at math, but I wasn't an A student. I really had to work hard to get good grades.

I know I should keep this a secret, but Celine Dion is something of an icon to me.

As a teenager I had friends who had little music studios in their bedrooms and garages. I'd go and play around; very soon, my hobby became a passion.

Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.

The way that I approach music has a bit of a sense of humor to it. Something slightly different that people can still relate to.

Feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you.
