It takes a different mindset to be successful in anything; that's why there's not a lot of super duper successful people, because it's guys I know who may be ten times more talented than me, but they don't work as hard.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

Not to be arrogant, but I have a lot of hits, so my phone stay ringing, but it's consistent.

I'm very competitive; it's not enough just to have a few number ones. I want to have 200.

I work every single day, even on Sundays.
