It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people.

There are some concerns that are universal. Everyone wants to be loved, and everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere in the world.

When I do a festival, I want everyone to have a party, I think it is kind of similar to a club where everyone is there to have a good time and celebrate not being at work or just being able to have fun. I love people dancing to my music as well; if I can make them dance I feel happy.
Think thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good, and take actions that make you feel good.
A good song has to have a great melody, and the lyrics have to touch my heart. Now, if it's just a little toe-tapper, got to make me feel good somehow or another, or when I sing it I can't make you feel good.

I know that I feel good and I think that comes across on stage; when I didn't feel good before, I think that came across on stage.
