I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.

I lost about 60 pounds. I don't really have a moment specifically that made me do it. I remember little things, like, when I was in Japan, I remember looking around at the portion sizes of a fast food restaurant and being like, 'Well, this has something to do with it.' Americans definitely eat too much.

I don't want names, but you have to have bumped into some pretty nasty artists with pretty big chips on their shoulders. I'd like an anecdote about the most obnoxious personality you had the misfortune of working with, albeit as anonymously as you feel comfortable divulging.

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

I think writing is a much more personal thing.

He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.
