I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.

I think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.

Any kind of anthemic song, for the most part, they're on the positive side of things. It's not hard to identify when a melody is just one degree too complicated or one degree too simple and where that line of pop memorability lies.

Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.

And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.

I don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.

If you calculate every single thing you could possibly need in your life, you would need no more than 200 people to keep all that afloat: a doctor, food, wine, cheese-eating friends, the person who makes paper, the shoemaker.
