I don't do intoxicants on tour too often. It slows me down mentally, and it feels like killing brain cells.

Maybe one day I'll write my rock album so I can use more obscure references and just be weird. If the lyrics are too crazy, though, then it's not pop anymore.

I see a lot of people of color in my fanbase and at all my shows, and it's really awesome.

Parking's expensive, so I walk or ride my bike, which is good because my girlfriend's getting her PhD as an environmental engineer.

I'm never drunk on the road, and since I've got to take care of my voice, smoke is definitely not allowed.

I'm training myself to go back to the way I used to record before electronic programs.

I'm a big fan of the artist Parra, and the way he draws naked women is really cool to see. It doesn't look perverted, it just looks really awesome.
