Q: You've probably never seen your name in the newspaper as much as you have this week.
A: Not really. I try not to read that much, though.
Q: Why, because you get tired of people saying how you're just like John Mayer without the phone sex addiction?
A: Maybe.
Q: Actually, they are writing nice things about you. You know you're doing something right when you get in the teen magazines and crusty TV critics praise you.
A: Yeah, I read some stuff and it seemed pretty cool. I'm pretty excited about it.
Q: And to think, six months ago you were just another boring kid in high school.
A: Definitely. It's very surreal. I'm just taking it as it comes and seeing what happens.
Q: When I was 17 the biggest challenge I faced was picking out which doughnut to eat for lunch.
A: That is still one of the biggest challenges I do face. The other one is when I'm trying to find a movie at Blockbuster.
Q: Well, that's understandable. You don't want to end up with "Police Academy 4."
