You Can't Be A 25-year-old Forever.

Even If You Can Sing Or Even If You Can Write A Song, It Takes A Lot Of Determination, It Takes Some Kind Of Thick Skin, Because You Got To Persevere Despite The Fact That People Tell You You Shouldn't Do This Or You Shouldn't Do That Or You're Not Good Enough Or Your Style's Too Different. I've Heard All Of That Stuff.

I Don't Feel Like That Many Musicians Are Competitive With Each Other.

I Gravitate Toward People That Are A Little More Outrageous Than I Am. And We Complement Each Other Well.

Every Artist Wants Some Sort Of Feedback, Because You Make This Music And You Hope People Love It And You Want To Hear If They Love It And What They Love About It, What Their Favorite Song Is, What They Think The Next Single Should Be. I Like To Hear Those Things.

The Main Focus For Me Is Not Trying To Find Duet Partners. It's About Just Making Great Songs. I Want Most Of My Album To Be In My Voice, Because It's My Point Of View.
