If I try to write a song, I will completely fail to write a song. But if I'm just holding my guitar and I just start humming, then I'll have a song in an hour.

In finding love, I think it's important to be patient. In being in a relationship, I think it's important to be honest, to communicate, to respect and trust, and to strive to give more than you take.

I'm really into good nutrition and keeping healthy! That said, I'm also addicted to candy - It's my biggest weakness.

I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people, and they're singing my songs! And to me, that's crazy.

I went into college undeclared. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew that music was obviously this central big important thing in my life that I was gonna keep doing.
