I want to thank so many people — all the little kids who are in the video and their families for bringing them to Maine and being in the video. [Video director] Roman White, [actor] Toby Hemingway. And the fans that voted. I don’t know what I did to deserve you guys, but you’ve made so many amazing things happen to me in my life.”
