I'm confident being at Universal, which is a great home for me, 'cause they understand what I'm trying to do.

I'm one of those firm believers that good music will prevail.

Seven out of 10 Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless.

In life we try to grow and better ourselves. As an artist, I feel like I've grown tremendously.

I think there's always room for people to hear different styles of music, especially when it comes from the heart.

There's a lot of madness going on out there. Artists can only be what they are, but the industry only goes with what they think people wanna hear.

I didn't want to do the whole, get the hottest person thing. I wanted to make sure every record felt right.
