There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.

Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.

It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.

In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.

Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.

...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.
