I started selling corn dogs, ended up in the music industry. That's how it all started.

When I moved to L.A., I was penniless, absolutely beyond broke and in debt up to my eyeballs.

I'm a huge Lady GaGa fan - she makes the world a more incredible place.

Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don't care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that's my opinion but because I think it's actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It's that simple.

I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day it is a good day.

So for every day that you're on this earth, for every minute that you have, the whole idea is doing nothing less than exactly what you feel you're supposed to do and squeezing every last drop out of life every day, regardless of the difficulties or trials that you face.

I'm a sucker for pop melodies, things you can't get out of your head.
