The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.

There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.

And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.

The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.

I prefer love over sex.
