Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.

I communicate with fans on Twitter. I enjoy the ability to impulsively write something and ship it out to the fans and fellow tweeters out there.

I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.

Nothing is sadder than love left unheard.

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

I'm not really comfortable in any one spot.
