I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.

My songs are like my kids.

I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. I'm with whoever. Whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me.

I love kids, but there's always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children.

The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.

I'm glad I had kids young because we have a strong bond and listen to the same music.

Kids just want to have one song. They don't care about a body of work; they don't even care about a whole album - they just want whatever's hot right now. They download that song, and that's it.

I have a whole lot of songs.

I think great songs appeal to people at any age. Kids love the Beatles, too. Kids love Tom T. Hall. Of course, Tom T. wrote some things that were specifically for kids. But I think kids recognize quality more than they get credit for sometimes.

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
