I'm feeling like the music business is reaping what it's sown. It's going through what inevitably it was going to go through. It was a very decadent, very glamorous business that took advantage of a lot of people for a long time and didn't do things right and had a poor business model.

When you commit to being a musician, I don't think you're really sure or care about when you're going to pay the bills. I don't think you care about that as much as you care about playing music.

The power and the potency of music will transcend any one person's opinion about it.

'The Voice' is built on positivity. Once we started filming, I knew that America was really going to love it.

I'm intelligent enough to survive happily and be compassionate. If I were too smart, I would realize all the ills of the world.

People always - when you rise, whenever you're getting to a point where you're a very big band, which is a very rare thing, there are always going to be people that aren't going to like you.

As a pop star, you don't have to be that smart for people to think you're intelligent.
