The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.

Be yourself and the right people will love you.

I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.

If you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people. The fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with ... it's just kind of ridiculous.

A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.
