First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.
It was satisfying to take a risk and see it pay off.
it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ... it's summertime!
Opera is for a lifetime, not just a minute.
You don't hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.
That's an old saying I just made up.
I'm not a 21-year-old angsty self-destructive rapscallion anymore.
I hate my own attorneys!
My mother taught me how to write.
I've done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro.
When something really grabs me, I dive into it.
I tend to write better when I'm not touring.
Sometimes I just cry at random stuff!
I am kind of majoring in bull shitting.
And I can do the rock clubs if I have to.

I was playing a Fender Telecaster when I first joined.
I shall seize fate by the throat.
I'm not the guy that thinks I'm a perfect singer.
