You're amazing, just the way you are.
In my songs, I'm not saying something that's never been said before. The have lyrics aren't going to blow people away. It's the emotion and the melody that drive it home.
As proud as I am of Doo-Wops I feel like, 'Oh, man. People haven't seen nothing. They don't even know what I'm about to do,' and that's what I can't wait to show the world.
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent; got kiss myself I'm so pretty.
I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.
You know, my sister sings, my brother plays drums in my band. My whole family is a bunch of musicians.
I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.
I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.
I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.
Treasure, that is what you are
You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it
I think that success is having fun.
If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.
I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan.
