I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.

Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.

Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.

Everything in life is a risk! I mean, you walk out onto the street and it's a risk! Don't you think?

I have fans from different cultures coming up to me saying that they don't understand what I'm singing but that they like the music.

I do want to give out a positive message and be successful.

I always saw myself performing on stage and the girls yelling out my name.
