The distance thing is partially due to the fact that I'm pretty shy and I've struggled with extreme stage fright in the past. So I just have to go onstage in a different head space so I'm not as self-aware.

Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.

I get starstruck really easily. I love music so much - it sounds so silly to say that - so if I'm playing a festival and somebody I love, like [Primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, is there in the backstage area, I'm like, "Wow this is amazing! There they are!"

I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass, too, but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.

When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me.'

I think it would be nice to be a prince.

I had a really intense flying dream most of my childhood into my teens. I would go out at night and fly all over the city and I could facilitate other people to fly with me.
