What is hot now will not be hot tomorrow, I promise you. Trends are made to die. It's the truth.

For those people who want to keep following trends, you do that and when the trend goes away so will you.

I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.

Every song I've ever written has been based in reality, based in fact, things that happen to me.

An idea that will translate really well musically should work visually. I try to write music that you can feel if you were to close your eyes you can see what I am talking about.

If you want to be successful, you have to be the best person doing it. And in order to be the best person doing it, you have to get your work ethic right and keep going.

That is the difference between a good song and a bad song lyrically - if you can listen to it and put yourself in that place, or see that person in that place, normally it is a pretty good song.
