I never write about the road. I never write about hotels or anything like that.

Happiness isn't a constant. You get fleeting glimpses. You have to fight for those moments, but they make it all worth it.

Ever since I was a little kid I've been so glad to be from America and so glad to live here.

In the beginning I remember when I would spend three hours a day on MySpace just trying to comment everyone back, and now, I spend a half hour a night on MySpace just putting up new stuff and answering people back and monitoring all the fan sites, and saying hi and thank you. I'm still way on top of it. I haven't grown out of it because it'll always be something that helped launch my career, and I'm going to keep maintaining it.

Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

If something happens to me, you're going to hear about it. I only know how to write songs about my life.
