In the interview, Jonas wondered why it was some people didn’t love his album and if it was because he’s happy.
“I’ve had success for quite a long time. Anyone is entitled to their own opinion of my art or something I have done — if they think it’s bad, I’d love to hear why,” he said candidly. “And not because they think that I’m happy, that seems like a pretty asinine way to say that.”
“Never take advice from the people you don’t respect, right?” he added. “From those people, there certainly wouldn’t be a thing where they would say this isn’t good and the reason is because you are happy.”

“I’m not shy about admitting that’s the source of a lot, if not all of my inspiration when I’m writing,” Jonas said. “I feel really fortunate to have that muse and that support propels me to continue to write; it’s omnipresent for me.”
“We’re together as much as we can be to bank as much time for those moments when we know that we inevitably have to be apart,” he added.
The singer also cleared some misconceptions about himself and his personality.
“They tend not to understand that I’m not serious,” he said. “At this point, I’m pretty laid-back and love to have a good laugh for anyone that knows me well.”
“In the beginning of meeting new people, I take my time opening up to my full personality,” he added.
As for theJonas Brothers? “Joe is the one with the finger on the pulse,” he said. “We actually have a lot of music that we’ve written and recorded over the last couple of years that we’re just waiting for the right time to release and properly set up. It’s better when we can do it together in person.”
