I naively thought I had to go door to door, find somebody who could record me singing some songs. I didn't know Music Row, I didn't know anything! So after six or seven months, I went back home and went to college.

I'm a worrywart, so I'm always a bit more stressed out than I should be or wish I was.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.

There are very few people that I deal with from a business side that it's just strictly a one-sided business relationship. I think that's important.

I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.

I pay such close attention of the record making process that most people would assume are very little and wouldn't be that big of a deal the packaging, the title, and the harmonies, I think, are arguably as important as the lead vocals.

Over the course of a day, you get to get a feel for where you're playing, so when you get out on stage, you already feel like you've had a bit of a bonding experience with them.

As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it's hard sometimes as a new artist to come across in 25 minutes. You get 25 minutes to hopefully impress these people. I think the longer set is more suitable for us and gives us an opportunity to connect better.

Nowadays, social media is the easiest place to go to find something.
