When I was growing up, I didn\'t really know much about being popular or cliques or anything like that. In elementary school and middle school, you start to kind of realize what it\'s all about.

I really know what it\'s like to be accepted, and I also know what it\'s like to be rejected. And those are lessons I learned in Wyomissing.

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.
