I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't smoke.

When the lights go down, that's 30,000 peoples lives colliding. Everyone there working is working for that moment, everyone watching is watching for that moment. It's when you're all in agreement about what you're all doing so it's a wonderful feeling of togetherness and possibility.

Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours.

I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.

So I have probably 1,200 little bits of paper with notes, which when the Ambien really starts to kick in, don't really make much sense. Say what you like about prescription drugs, but they do help when you're sequencing a record.

I've never been cool and I don't really care about being cool. It's just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted.

Even when other people don’t expect a lot out of you,you have to take the initiative.
