Cody Simpson

For Valentine's Day, I wrote my crush a song and had it professionally recorded. I never released it, though, because I wanted it to be a song just for her. I thought it would be more special that way.

To be honest, romantic comedies are one of my favorite type of movies ever. I've seen most of them that are under the sun.

I like to do romantic things in New York. I have a bunch of restaurants that I love to go to and things like that.

Intelligence is the sexiest thing in the world.

I have a fresh start, now that I've turned 18, which feels like such a symbolic age of independence and hopefully a new phase of my life.

I hope that my journey inspires kids from all around the world to pursue their passions and work hard for their dreams.

Actually, I did get to help very much in the design of the Cody doll. I made sure the clothes were cool and everything.

The Wish Factory did a tremendous job and I am amazed at how closely the doll resembles me. The clothes are modeled off actual stuff I wear, which is pretty cool.

I found myself in a meeting on my 13th birthday, which I really had no idea the enormity of, but I was in a meeting with the CEO of Atlantic Records, who sort of signed me right then and there as I was playing guitar for him.
