I Don't Care How Small The Game.

I Was Probably Six Years Old When I First Sang Before An Audience.

I Listen To All Kinds Of Songs. There's Something To Be Learned From Every Type Of Music And From The One Making It, Whether It's Pop Or Jazz Or Hip-hop.

I Went Back And Listened To The First Three Albums I Made And Tried To Figure Out What Was Special About Them, Why People Keep Going Back To Them. I Think It Was Because I Didn't Know What I Was Doing. I Had No Idea If They Were Going To Play It On The Radio Or Anything. All I Did Was Write Songs, So That's What I Got Back To.

You Can't Listen To What People Who Aren't Musical Have To Say. When Anytime Was Released, I Had Bad Reviews, And At First I Was Hurt. Your Songs Are Like Your Children. You Don't Want To Hear, 'your Kid Is Ugly.' But I Knew The Record Was Good And It Would Sell.

I'm Creating Music - It Doesn't Matter If Anyone Else Likes It.
