“Animals play a big part in my life, on tour or at home.”

Love shouldn’t be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can’t have that from the get-go, there’s a problem.

When it comes to relationships, I think I’m pretty experienced – you’d be surprised.

I have my own studio down in Miami.

Animals keep you company when you’re really lonely. It helps because when you have a friend around who always likes you no matter what – it’s harder to feel bad or down.

My favorite thing about being famous… it’s not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It’s still pretty tough.

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.

Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

I’ve had my run in with trouble. Fortunately, you know, one slap on the hand is usually the last time for me… I learned my lesson.

There’s not a day that I don’t work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Try to bring me down, but you will never succeed because I’m always moving upward. Maybe not before, but now … I am.

Having a dream, living that dream, losing that dream, dreaming again and then having that dream come true again is one of the greatest feelings ever because I`m stronger.

My career is my girlfriend.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.
