"After a whirlwind year that included releasing a debut album, filming a movie, and performing at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, you'd think Cody Simpson would be ready for a vacation. You'd be correct. Cody Simpson took a break from shooting a new campaign with Pastry Shoes to chat about touring with Biebs, covering Frank Ocean's hit \"Super Rich Kids,\" and looking forward to the holidays in Australia \"just being a kid.\"\n\nWhat are you up to right now?\n\n \"I'm just at the beach right now at Santa Monica Pier. I just did a little photo shoot for Pastry. Soon, I'm going back to Australia because I'm done touring for the year and I'm looking forward to hanging out with family and friends, just being a kid.\"\n\nYou've worked with Pastry for awhile now. How'd you decide to team up with them?\n\n \"I felt like it was something that my fans would like. My sister was into their gear, so we're both working with them. It's a lot of fun.\"\n\nThey make pretty rad shoes. How would you describe your own style?\n\n \"Surfer chic. I like dressing up and wearing suits, but I keep it casual.\"\n\nSpeaking of music, your new Frank Ocean cover is amazing. What inspired that?\n\n \"I love that song, first of all. I was listening to it the day it came out and started singing my own rendition. I was like, 'I could really make this into a remix!' So I wrote the song super quickly, and it's become something that my fans really love. I'm looking forward to turning 'Super Beach Kids' into a whole movement.\"\n\nWho do you listen to, other than Frank?\n\n \"I have a lot of variety on my iPod. Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, artists like that, but I also listen to hip-hop as well.\"\n\nWho would you like to work with in 2013?\n\n \"I'd love to work with Ed Sheeran, and I think I'm working with him in the near future. Jason Mraz would be really cool. I really love his style of music.\"\n\nWhat will you be up to in the new year?\n\n \"I am pretty much touring the second I'm back from Australia. I'm out on the road with http://www.teenvogue.com/about/justin-bieber\"&amp;gt;Justin Bieber all over the country. I'll also be recording new music, working on a follow-up to Paradise that will be out in the beginning to middle of next year.\"\n\nAny New Years resolutions?\n\n \"Last year, my resolution was to be more charitable and I think I really fulfilled that. I did a lot with anti-bullying campaigns and DoSomething.org. [Pastry is teaming up with Cody to donate $1 for every pair of shoes sold to the organization through December 25.] Next year, I just want to keep on growing as a person. I want to be a great person, not just a great artist.\"\n\nYou're super-involved on Twitter. What's your favorite thing about it?\n\n \"I love being able to connect with my friends and I want them to feel as close to me as possible. I'm always looking for new innovative ways to connect with them, whether that's through Twitter or my iPhone app [Smitten with Cody Simpson]. With the Internet, fans feel like they know you and I love that kind of connection.\"\n\nSo who's your favorite person to follow on Twitter?\n\n \"Hmmm... Frank Ocean has some great tweets. But mostly I'm just focused on the fans. I get a ton of tweets and I try to respond, but it's so hard!\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
