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

A song is a song and a hit record can change a life.

I feel like all of my records have potential to be hits. Sometimes it's promotion, sometimes it's bad timing, but yeah I take it very personally. I'm very hard on myself when it comes to my records. I really believe that if it's not number one, I've failed.

I'm excited about being able to write and produce songs from an executive standpoint as well as the business side of it and the political side of it. I'm working on angles when it comes to the music business because I feel like that's the only way you can become a mogul.

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.

I listen to all types of different music. I go to different festivals. I'm around music.

I don't believe in writing people off.
