No Matter Who We Are, No Matter What Our Circumstances, Our Feelings And Emotions Are Universal. And Music Has Always Been A Great Way To Make People Aware Of That Connection. It Can Help You Open Up A Part Of Yourself And Express Feelings You Didn't Know You Were Feeling. It's Risky To Let That Happen. But It's A Risk You Have To Take-because Only Then Will You Find You're Not Alone.

More From Josh Groban

Grobanite Makes Me Think Of A Type Of Harmless Crustacean.

I Wanted To Focus On Songs That I Was Inspired By Growing Up. I Love So Many Of Them From The Last 100 Years, But I Really Wanted, For My First Step Forward, To Choose Material That Has Inspired Me And Got Me Into The World Of Musical Theater.

Music Is So 100 Percent For Me That The Idea Of Giving That Up In Any Way, Shape, Or Form Would Be Terrifying To Me.

My Life Is An Unfinished Product, But Instead Of Just Saying, 'how Do I Top What I've Accomplished,' I Decided I Wanted To Move Forward, Express My Growth And Take A Big Step Into The Next Chapter.

It's Really Tough To Make A Name For Yourself Without Compromising And Without Fitting Yourself Into A Real Specific Mold. When I Made The Choice That I Would Be Involved In Every Aspect Of Music And Not Necessarily Make Music For Radio Or Mtv, I Was Saying, 'ok, This Is Me. You Decide Who It Is.'

I Get Terrible Butterflies. Before I Go Onstage, I'll Have To Freak Out For Five Minutes. I Scream. It Seems To Help!

I Try To Have A Real Close Connection With My Fans. That's Extremely Important. They Are The Ones That Have Been There From The Beginning And Proved Everyone Else Wrong.

I Have To Work Hard To Not Look Like A Nerd All The Time. My Friends Are The Only People I Know That Don't Care About My Image. I Need To Have People Who Treat Me Just As Josh, Not As Josh The Singer.

I Know That Life Is A Journey I Must Accept And That Pain And Confusion Are Temporary. I Know That If I Follow My Heart, It Will Lead Me Where I Belong.

The Shower Is My Time To Open Up My Operatic Chops, Because Of The Enormous Echo. You Sound Five Times As Big In The Shower, So I Break Into Some "nessun Dorma" From Puccini 's Turandot Or Pearl Jam. You've Got To Go Big When You're In The Shower. There's No Half-singing In The Shower, You're Either A Rock Star Or An Opera Diva.

No Matter What Your Age And No Matter Where You Come From, Everyone Can Change The World In Some Way, Whether It's Being A Mentor To Someone Younger Than You Or Someone That Doesn't Have As Much Experience As You. If You're Passionate Enough, You Can Do Whatever You Want And Definitely Change The World.

I Like My Hair Long Because I Have Really Big Ears.

It Wasn't That I Got Pinned Against My Locker, But I Was Intensely Aware That The Things I Valued Weren't Shared By Anyone. Girls Didn't Like Me, And I Had Few Friends.

If There Is One Thing That Is Constant In This World, It Is The Power Of Music.

No Matter Who We Are, No Matter What Our Circumstances, Our Feelings And Emotions Are Universal. And Music Has Always Been A Great Way To Make People Aware Of That Connection. It Can Help You Open Up A Part Of Yourself And Express Feelings You Didn't Know You Were Feeling. It's Risky To Let That Happen. But It's A Risk You Have To Take-because Only Then Will You Find You're Not Alone.

When It Comes To The Acting Stuff, I Like To Show Up For A Couple Days And Kind Of Be Outrageous And Silly, And Go Back To My Day Job.

Every Day I Lugged My Backpack Through The Halls, Waiting For The Final Bell. Then I'd Race Home And Hole Up In My Room, Playing The Drums And The Piano, Composing Music.

After Using Four Different Languages On An Album, It's Tough To Decide Which One I'm Gonna Actually Learn To Speak. I Always Study The Lyric, Make Sure I Know What I'm Singing, And Try To Get The Pronunciation As Perfect As Possible.

I Think Some Industries Are So Far Behind The Rest Of Humanity, In The Way They See Characters And Cast Shows. Once Those Walls Get Broken Down, It Changes Everything.

I Was The Boy Who Liked To Sing His Own Songs At Talent Shows, And I Was Suddenly Officially Uncool.

My Feeling Is, Twitter's Free. If People Want To Have A Political Discourse With Me On Twitter, And They Disagree With Me, I've Got All The Time In The World For That. It's When It Gets Nasty That I Have Problems.

As A New Artist There's Always Outside Influences Trying To Tell You How To Make A Song Better For Radio And How To Do Your Hair.

My School Life Was Very Much A Wandering Experience. I Was Having Trouble In School And I Was Not Making A Lot Of Friends. So Coming Home And Actually Improvising On The Piano And Just Coming Up With Melodies Was An Escape For Me.

My Biggest Blast-off Hit Was "you Raise Me Up." If You Ever Have A Wedding Or A Funeral, It's A Good Pick.

Let Me Fall. Let Me Climb. There's A Moment Where Fear And Dream Must Collide.

I'm The Depresso Guy On Holidays.

When I Started In The Music Business, Travel Became A Huge Part Of My World, Where It Hadn't Been At All. I Visited Parts Of The World That I'd Never Been To And Found That I Was Spending Maybe 30 Days At Home A Year.

Art Matters Because It Is The One True Great Connector In A World That Seems To Be Very Unconnected.

When You're Walking In, Basically Like A Kid A Candy Store, To A Project Where There's An Endless Canon Of Material, You Have To Step Back From It As A Self-indulgence. You Have To Look At It Neutrally.

I've Been Fascinated By Music For As Long As I Can Remember. I Was The Kid On The Playground In The Third Grade Who Would Tell Other Kids About Paul Simon Or Depeche Mode.

There's No Half-singing In The Shower, You're Either A Rock Star Or An Opera Diva.

I Think That My Relationship With My Fans Has Been Very Special From Day One. It's Been Very Special In Spite Of The Fact That I Don't Think I Would Ever Be Able To Call Myself A Press Darling. I Don't Think There's Ever Been A Superficial Hype Machine Around Me.

I Hate Birthdays. It's So Funny, People Always Come Up To Me, "hey! It's My Birthday!" But When It's My Birthday, I Don't Want To Talk About It, I Don't Wanna Tell Anybody.

Don't Try To Be Like Me. Try To Be Like Yourself. Try To Be Very Good At Being Yourself.

I Believe That Angels Breathe And That Love Will Live On And Never Leave

If I'm In A Relationship, I'll Go To The Ends Of The Earth. If I'm On The Road And We Have A Conversation, And She Says, "god, I Really Wish I Was There With You Right Now," I'll Hang Up The Phone, Send A Car, And Have The Plane Ready.

There Is A Little Bit Of A Head Vs. Heart Kind Of Battle That Happens Sometimes With The Song. There's The Goose Bump Thing, Where The Melody Or Whatever It Is Just Gets You And You Don't Know Why. Sometimes, It's In A Genre That You Didn't Think You Liked And, All Of A Sudden, The Song Hits You And You Just Say, Wow, I Feel The Hairs On The Back Of My Neck. I Love This Song.

Musically, Between Me And My Fans And Also Me And My Team, Who Between Management And Record Label Have Always Just Let Me Be Me, It's Fun To Pave A Path. It's Fun To Feel Like You're Doing Things Your Own Way. So In That Regard I Haven't Had To Worry About Any Bar But My Own.

There Is A Certain... Chivalry To The Style Of Singing I Normally Do. Part Of The Fun For Me Will Be To Leave That At The Door.
