I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.

I was writing tons of music in my spare time. I might be on location somewhere, and I'd go home and I'd have my guitar and my little keyboard or something and write music. Or if I was at home, on my piano. I've always been a late bloomer with a lot of things, just in general, so I think this was something that needed to come to fruition in this particular way.

I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.

If people just want to be famous, that's just not enough to get you up at 4 in the morning to go to work. You have to love what you're doing.

I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.

I've always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.

I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.
