I think YouTube has destroyed the genre barrier. People can be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the same time. It's a good thing.

I think encouraging young people to twerk might be a bad thing. It's a stripper's move. If I had a daughter of nine, I wouldn't want her twerking.

The thing that I took away as an early fan from Bob Dylan was the storytelling aspects. He can tell some wicked stories.

I think the moment you start trying to please a fan base is when you start going downhill. I'm going to always, always write about what I want, even if it doesn't necessarily cater to most of them.

Never be friends with your exes if you weren't friends with them before.

Instead of writing songs for girls, I tend to write albums, which I guess is a bit weird.

I know you'll never love me like you used to.
