I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries, and I want to change that because it's not good for me.

Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music

Ultimately, I am responsible for how I live my life now, and what I make out of it. In fact, I am actually grateful for what I've gone through and wouldn't change a thing-although I admit I wouldn't want to live it over again either. Once was enough.

I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.

My goal is to appeal to as many people as I can. I'm not looking to leave country, but I do want to have more international success.

I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.

I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength.
