[on his reaction to Weird Al's parody of "Radioactive"] I lost my mind! I'm a huge Weird Al fan. My family's reaction to winning a Grammy was proud, but when I told them Weird Al was parodying one of my songs, they freaked out way worse. It was one of the most real moments of my life. I actually got in touch with Al and the guys, they're gonna be coming through Vegas soon. We're gonna hopefully meet up with them.

[on the "Shots" music video] the concept was bringing in artist Tim Cantor, who came up with all the magical realism based art that we felt a connection. We worked with an amazing director, Robert Hales, and took all the artwork we made and incorporated it into the video.. we're all happy and proud of it, Tim's art surely helped bring it to life. I hope you all like it.
