My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was to pay my rent.

Because when you go out, and you have fun, basically you're performing for these tabloid outlets and the paparazzi. And when you perform and create this story, they're chuffed - they get excited, they capture it, and they put it out.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive. It was all about - very selfish in a lot of ways.

The problem to me with environmentalism is the idea that we're all gonna die and we need to save ourselves. I don't think it's necessarily the right way to go about it, because I think we need to really just improve our every moment and improve our quality of life. And that will, sort of by default, save us.

Everything I do, it's all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

What is important is family, friends, giving back to your community and finding meaning in life.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.
