People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over; it just means maybe go try to live a different life.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: "My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be." You realize that you need to like yourself.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
