Sometimes in life you have to be your own best friend.

If I could go back I wouldn't change anything. If I was popular I would have never left my bubble. I wouldn't have ever tired to do anything different. I would have never become happy.

Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don't hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people's faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment. So I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on the record.

It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down.

You have to able to make fun of yourself. Don't take things too seriously and when people make fun of you, laugh at it.

For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.
