To see fans singing your songs back to you is an indescribable thing.

It's hard to be in the limelight and write songs that cater to fans that have expectations of you. We just want to write songs that we love, but all the different people with different ideas coming in make it difficult. We have to ask ourselves if we're writing for the most important people: the fans.

Writing songs is not something I wanted to share with people for a long time. It was precious to me. I didn't want someone to crush it. I waited until I felt strong enough to take the criticism.

I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again.

I want to let fans know how much I appreciate them and how much I appreciate them showing interest in our music and me personally.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

I have a knack for writing tribute songs for people who will never know about them.

The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.

You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.

A lot of my fans are young and hip and enjoy my pop album and know the lyrics to those songs as well, which is a real compliment to me.
