A lot of what you do is about how you look. You're a good-looking guy who plays music, and you can't do anything about what happens because of that. If people say, "He's cute. I'm going to go buy his album," hopefully they'll like the music, too.

I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think.

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.

When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

Since Elizabeth, I certainly live a healthier lifestyle.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.
