I'm obsessed with old rotary phones.

All cell phones in the air 'cause I want to see you guys shine.

My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn't see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I'd see him every couple years.

I was obsessed with girls when I was 13 years old; I wasn't really into books.

I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.

It's funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot.
