So for every day that you're on this earth, for every minute that you have, the whole idea is doing nothing less than exactly what you feel you're supposed to do and squeezing every last drop out of life every day, regardless of the difficulties or trials that you face.
I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day it is a good day.
The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever.
Honest always sells. Always has, always will.
I'm actually introverted and shy.

I'm terribly forgetful. I've lost laptops, cell-phones.
I'm not interested in corporate magic or fame.
I'm a sucker for pop melodies, things you can't get out of your head.
I'm a huge Lady GaGa fan - she makes the world a more incredible place.

I grew up listening to English music.
