Although the views have gone up and the comments have gone up, I never drop a project and disappear.

I feel like a hit will come whenever it does, but I don't want to sit in a studio trying to figure out the magic formula and mixing spices and trying to come up with the perfect song.

My email is constantly full, and I'm constantly being called, like, 'We need your decision on this.'

Don't hide things from the fans, because they will find them, and they will not be your fan anymore. I've seen that happen with many artists.

When all these huge offers start coming in, people see dollar signs. People see fame. I just knew that it was a lie. Unless you really hit it off in radio right away - a lot of my friends didn't, and they were getting put in so many horrible positions where they were getting stuck. They weren't even allowed to release music.

I am here talking to 'Rolling Stone' because of an iPhone. Music has transformed because of Apple.

It seems obvious to say, but I really admire the creative sides of Steve Jobs.

Every day, I'm working hard to improve my craft as an artist, my connection with the best fans, and keep pushing my work ethic. All those things make me happy.

My fans go crazy over jaw clenches. They also love hand veins... they're infatuated with hands in general.

I actually like spending time alone - it doesn't bother me at all.
