I don't really go mountain biking per se, like a proper sport.

I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That's not gone away.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

I think that one of the main privileges of what I do, which I am just starting to learn, is to have the ability to travel all over the world and experience different cultures.

I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.

If you are trying to think ahead musically, it is not going to help you. It is better to ignore what is happening melodically and just look at the little dots coming at you and the corresponding colors and try to do it at the right time.

If you sold a million records, the only way you could be disappointed is if the guy down the street sold seven million. But you've got to start dodging bullets once you've sold that many records, because everybody wants to kill you. We're not in that position. We can still be very successful and not have to worry about wearing bulletproof vests.
