Again, I'm used to speaking to a lot of people; I have a lot of friends and family, and I perform music and speak in front of a lot of crowds. So I share with people already a lot in my life.

Although my dad was a doctor, we weren't necessarily a super-artsy family. We were just a classic, traditional family who got to take a lot of piano lessons and became a bunch of musicians.

A friend of mine once told me that I can't screw up when I play my own music. I also take voice lessons, play other peoples' songs out of music books, and occasionally figure out how to play other...

I don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal.

I didn't realize what an impact having a No. 1 single would have. It connects me with people of different ages, and I get to travel all over the world.

Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don't mind at all being a name from the '90s.

As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs.

I use my cell phone as much as I can - I talk to friends all the time. I'm like 2,000 hours a month. It's crazy.

I'm old-school. I want to be there to drop off my daughter at school and pick her up.
