When grandpa was ill and could've died, I would have swapped all my record sales so he could get well. He is the reason I am a singer. He was my best friend growing up.

I have the most eclectic audience - I've got gay, I've got straight, black, white, rich, poor, young, old, in 45 countries. And they don't all come because I'm the Sinatra kid, though that's a big part of it. My biggest successes have come from pop songs that I write myself.

I love Christmas. I'm really sentimental about it. My parents made it awesome for us, and we were allowed to be kids for a long time.

A lot changed the moment I had kids; I had no idea of the perspective it would give me. It made making the right decisions a lot easier.
