I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.

When you're playing festivals, you only get a half-hour. It's like a meat market. You don't get to be artistic. You don't get to play music. It's called a showcase for a reason.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.

You can't just explain a joke. Either it isn't funny, or the person just totally missed the punchline.

I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.

All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.
