I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.

I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
