I grew up in a Hollywood family with money, so money is not the reason I make music. I'm as Hollywood as it gets. Not internally but externally - that's my bloodline.

I write songs like "The Sweetest Love." Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.

Right now, with terrorism and poverty and Wall Street and Social Security having problems, nudity should not be the issue.

You have to give love to get love.

I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

Entertain the people. Give them something they're not ready for, make them talk.
