It's hard for me to pry with people I know.

You know, when you have a father who's pretty well known but you don't see him, the last thing you want to do is start talking about him all the time to people.

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

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.

I'm happy. I feel good about music.
