If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?

Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

I am incredibly thankful for the strong support I have from my peers in the industry and of course my amazing fans.

My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.

Junk food drags you down.
