I think a lot of my dreams have come true, and my next dream is to have a No. 1 selling album. A Grammy-award-winning album.

Singing is my dream and, while it may have not been a commercial success, critically I was thrilled with the reception my first album got.

It has been a dream of mine to be a singer, and now I'm living this dream, singing some beautiful songs and winning people's hearts with my voice.

There's always going to be life experiences that find their way into my songs.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.

My secret to success is that I've always loved good music and people.

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.

Making music all the time was my dream.

My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them - I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.
