Don't Try To Be Like Me. Try

I Have To Work Hard To Not Look Like A Nerd All The Time. My Friends Are The Only People I Know That Don't Care About My Image. I Need To Have People Who Treat Me Just As Josh, Not As Josh The Singer.

It Wasn't That I Got Pinned Against My Locker, But I Was Intensely Aware That The Things I Valued Weren't Shared By Anyone. Girls Didn't Like Me, And I Had Few Friends.

It's Really Tough To Make A Name For Yourself Without Compromising And Without Fitting Yourself Into A Real Specific Mold. When I Made The Choice That I Would Be Involved In Every Aspect Of Music And Not Necessarily Make Music For Radio Or Mtv, I Was Saying, 'ok, This Is Me. You Decide Who It Is.'

I Was The Boy Who Liked To Sing His Own Songs At Talent Shows, And I Was Suddenly Officially Uncool.

As A New Artist There's Always Outside Influences Trying To Tell You How To Make A Song Better For Radio And How To Do Your Hair.
