To make an album like 'Love Letter,' everything's got to be about love. Everything has to have a great feeling when you listen to it.

'Love Letter' reminds me of 'Chocolate Factory' and 'Happy People.' It's a little bit of both of those, yeah. I just wanted it to be classy, man. And romantic. And maybe 10 percent sexy.

I have to say, it was fun doing this 'Love Letter' album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forevermore, it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.

I did 'Love Letter' and 'Write Me Back,' and those were fun albums for me to do because they took me back to music I love.

My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.

Albums are like diaries. You go through phases, technically and emotionally, and they reflect the state that you're in at the time.

Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.

When you write an album and you're writing about relationships, the stuff that I've been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it's that one percent that always inspires you to write a song.

I don't know why, but I don't fancy writing love songs; I never have.
