I was very, very financially secure my whole life. I have been very lucky to say that.

I'd earned over a million dollars by the time I was old enough to vote.

I always do get a little bit paranoid when I get a lot of attention. But I get used to it.

Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.

I'm happy; I'm a happy person.

I think cursing is a bunch of malarkey.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio...well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.
