Caffeine is like a really attractive girl that has nothing to say. You get all jacked up on it and then you're left feeling hollow and empty.

I play in a band, I write songs, I sing, you know, perform on stage.

I have a high self-opinion - I don't need to hide that. I don't need to be self-deprecating.

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don't think I'm entitled to it. That's a big difference.

I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn't play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.

Hey, bro...So there's like 7,000 paparazzi outside. Maybe two of you guys can roll over, and one of you can grab the Ferrari, and then we can just split? Thanks, bro.

And I think I have a distinct voice.
