I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.

If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.

People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.

The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.

It's impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It's the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
