How connected he is to his fans. People are like, ‘Oh he Twitters. He knows his audience.' He really does. But being with him, he knows fans by name. When he sees them on street, he looks them in eye. He won't stop for cameras or interviews, but he will stop for fans. If it's a little girl or a mom, he will stop. We had an interview the other day where someone showed him a video of a fan crying and going crazy, and everyone was laughing. I was laughing about how ridiculous this girl was. He wasn't laughing. He was like, ‘She is such a sweetheart.' This is real for him. I thought that was noble and admirable about him.

I didn't know how real he was. When I spent more time with him, I grew to love him as a friend. He is just a kid. This is just the beginning. This could be a trilogy; this is just the first chapter. We will see him in 10 years. Will he leave this world, or continue to grow in his music and art? That intrigued me in and of itself. I didn't know a lot about his music or his family. But to young underdogs, he is their Peter Pan.
