As a kid, I dreamed about being onstage.

I do have the odd dream where I'm on stage and I've completely forgotten what I'm meant to be performing - so they are more nightmares than dreams.

As a little kid, I used to lock myself in my room and put on my Whitney Houston CD's and pretend to be her and try and hit every single note that she hit. I used to dream that one day that would be me.

I've dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.

I dreamed of doing stuff like Will Smith and films on a big scale.

My dream when I was 14 was someday I could have a David Levine caricature of me in 'The New York Review of Books.'

My original dream was to become a singer-songwriter, so I sent a video of myself playing the piano and singing to all the big agencies.

I just think if I can go from being a homeless kid with a dream of being in the biggest band in the world and making that happen, I can do a lot of other cool stuff, too.

I will always desire to play with Bruce Springsteen. He's the most inspirational, most dedicated, most committed and most focused artist I've ever seen. I like to be around people like that.
