I put a list together. It was like: Get health insurance, get a car, get a bigger apartment, travel more, get a record deal, get a publishing deal, sell 10,000 units, be a part of a No. 1 album, make a million dollars. I got to check off 90 percent of the stuff last year. I hit some serious landmarks in 2015.

I drive the same car that I've driven since I was 16. That's who I am.

I sing in full voice in the car and have a tendency to harmonize badly.
