A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.

Different cultures have different audiences.

I just want to scream: "I'm being honest, I swear!" Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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.

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

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
