People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.

We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this.

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

A dramatic thing, the first time you stand up to your dad.
