I love America, it's a much more permissive place.

I'm much healthier now.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.
