I spend all my time trying to avoid the spotlight.
I'm not a celebrity, I've kind of been under the radar, has kept it easier for me to maintain a career.
Whatever fame came did so not because I sought it.
I've never liked the recognition, the questions, the publicity. I have often felt like running away and hiding.
Honestly, I want to live a calm life without being in the press. I want to be like any other American citizen who gets a speeding ticket or has an argument with his spouse... and doesn't have the whole world know.
I don't live in the spotlight, and I don't live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.
I really had little interest in becoming famous. When I write my book, it will be my guide to avoid becoming a rock star.
I try not to label myself anything, really, but you know, I'm definitely an indoorsy person, and I definitely kind of just try to, you know, stay away from life in the public eye, at least.
I haven't had the whole 'famous' thing happen to me yet, and I hope I never will. I like to sneak away in the corners and hide a lot.
I've passed up opportunities. I've avoided the spotlight. I've never been to Academy Awards, didn't relate to them.
I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.
I feel like I've got a nice little niche where I stay just below the radar, which is perfect. I just don't want to be known for anything other than music.
