For Valentine's Day, I wrote my crush a song and had it professionally recorded. I never released it, though, because I wanted it to be a song just for her. I thought it would be more special that way.
You know, as far as public perception goes, if you get seen with some people one time, everyone thinks you're in that group.
I think 'Free' captured a moment in my life where I was finding myself. There's a lot of content on there about breaking free and just developing your own philosophies, and ideologies, or world views or whatever.
My main focus now is playing the guitar. I'm not really like, dancing on stage anymore.
No pop for me. Pop's dead in my mind.
As a musician, you want to be your own favorite artist and be able to make the music that is an accumulation of all your favorite influences.
I realized I can do other things. I started developing opinions on serious matters and it's not all sugar and spice.
I think typically you'd start in a supporting role or an ensemble role, or maybe even an off-Broadway role. So to come into a lead role on Broadway, especially taking over a role that has been played by two phenomenal actors in the past, that is some large shoes to fill.
I've always been interested in kind of doing the thing that you weren't necessarily recommended to do.
I have a lot of variety on my iPod. Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, artists like that, but I also listen to hip-hop as well.
With the Internet, fans feel like they know you and I love that kind of connection.
I want to be a great person, not just a great artist.
I love being able to connect with my friends and I want them to feel as close to me as possible.
I like to write about lots of things in real life that people can relate to, that people can I guess connect with and the fans could understand what I'm talking about.
This sounds weird, but some of my concerts have been kind of dangerous sometimes. I've had a few girls actually sent to the hospital because they faint and all that kind of stuff, which is really, really weird to me.
Swimming is definitely a big passion that I have, but I was a champion for the butterfly and the free style and stuff. It was a hard decision if I wanted to move to the U.S. to get into music, but I was grateful that I had two choices and many things to do.
My accent fades away I guess when I sing. It's real weird. I guess singing is pretty much a universal language like you sing however everyone else sings and that's with an American accent. I sound very different when I talk.
I like to do romantic things in New York. I have a bunch of restaurants that I love to go to and things like that.
To be honest, romantic comedies are one of my favorite type of movies ever. I've seen most of them that are under the sun.
I surf a lot.
