I don't have to worry about what people are thinking and what's going on in the industry. I don't want that stuff to influence what I'm doing. Because I think it stifles you creatively. I don't want to have to care too much about that. All I care about is what the fans think. It's really all I care about, honestly.

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 certainly could've gone off track many, many times in my youth.

I want to talk to people that have been through big disappointments, big emotional crises, deep life struggles, and I will learn something from that.

I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me I can stay right here forever in your arms from Forever and for Always

And it only hurts when I'm breathing My heart only breaks when it's beating My dreams only die when I'm dreaming So, I hold my breath--to forget

I'd rather clean my toilet than go to a show-business party.
