I really didn't study any music. I just picked it up real quick.

I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.

I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.

I'll always be making music. I'd like to do it my whole life - although I also love words and want to write short stories. But right now, my songs are kind of my short stories.

Since Elizabeth, I certainly live a healthier lifestyle.

I get to see the world and try to make people happy. I'm very much of a wandering spirit, if you'll pardon the expression.

Even the bands I dig don't have a history of attaining mass consumption.
