Everyone, when you're a teenager and you're growing up, you do feel like your life is dramatic enough to be on a TV screen, but we know that it's not.

It's like being in the position of - in half of the industry's mind, you're kind of a cult-following, independent rocker. And on the other hand, you're a sellout. But neither one of them are right.

I do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it's usually because you're just not coming to grips with something.

I look to an out gay man or woman as pretty much what I would aspire to. The strength that it takes to do that and the floodgates that open and what they pay for it.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.

My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.

What stupid f - king idiot gets married a second time if the first time didn't work out?
