I really do love pop. I understand songwriting, I understand the business, and I'm not stuck in any one particular time period.

If I could live in one city and do every single thing I do there, I would choose Venice. You can't turn your head without seeing something amazing.

What do great artists do when you see a world around you that's in turmoil? Some of the best artists make you feel good (hah), they look to the future.

You can fool a person into going to see a movie with a good trailer.

My concept is, until you absolutely know the plane is crashing, there's no reason to be afraid. All the turbulence in the world does not mean the plane is crashing. Once it's confirmed, then you can be afraid.

Bands always call me when they are in need of a boost and I come in and put them back on top.

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that's what I like to think I'm doing.
