My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.

I've been really lucky to have a lot of cool people and to be around a lot of cool celebrities that I've got to learn from.

Kids think books are cool, especially when they see that people they think books are cool are reading.

It's like a dream sometimes, a song just pops into your head and you can't tell if it's something you heard or it's new and you got to write it down.

I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades.
