If you're going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it's better to write with collaborators.

I believe that music is God's voice.

Every now and then I hear voices in my head, but not very clear. I can't understand what they are saying. It's a mental illness. I have been diagnosed as a manic depressive.

I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?

There's nothing greater than a girl.... Well a kid, your daughter, but that's a girl too.

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

I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard-working guy.
