You can take a picture of New York and one person looking at it will think it looks really depressing, frightening; and someone else will look at it and think of all the fun things you can do in New York. I think songs are kinda like that.

I went walking around the city some more, people watching with a cold, blank stare. And I saw your face in everyone, I swear.

If I seem to be reckless with myself,It's the fault of no one.All things have a placeUnder the moon as well as the sun.

Nothing's gonna drag me down to a death that's not worth cheating.

I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.

I've been doing four-track songs by myself since I was like a teenager, where I'd sing in a way that I ... I just didn't think other people would like it, so I didn't play it for them but eventually I got over that, which I'm happy that I did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind.

All your secret wishes could right now be coming true.
