I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitar player in the world... a guy who mastered that instrument. It was talking when he played. And when he did a solo, he made the guitar cry - or made it sound like it was coming from the devil's amplifier.

I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii.

I love artists like Prince, who hold on to that element of mystery.

I guess if I'm a product, either you're chocolate, you're vanilla or you're butterscotch. You can't be all three.

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
