There's got to be a backbone, there's got to be a skeleton to the whole way I perform, but you never want to hit the same note twice during a performance, I think. I think it's always got to be fresh so it doesn't bore me, and I always want to go out on edge.

I had no idea I could make it this far. And the fact that they told me I made it this far and that America is going to vote for me, I freaked out.

I love listening to Radio Head's 'Everything in its Right Place' because it's all major chords, it makes you feel really good. It's soothing, it's got a beautiful voice, crazy textures. When I'm down I listen to that song and it really makes me feel good.

I love making music, I love composing on my computer, just making crazy ethnic slack orchestral tracks, that's one of my fun things.

My favorite type of music to sing to would be rock and roll, Tenacious D, Led Zeppelin, some Queen - I love all of them. I love singing to them because they're all just great voices. I love listening to very obscure jazz.

If my life was a song it would be 'Who Let The Dogs Out'.

What I really like doing is taking risks, musically.

I like kissing people because it's funny.

If you're a good singer, you're going to make anything sound good.

In my spare time I like watching TV, laying on the couch, just chillin'.
