When I went to do "Carson" that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. "Conga" hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, "Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case."

A parent that's upset or resentful is not going to be a great paren.

I am trying to teach my children to feel a responsibility for their fellow human beings and a sense of connection with ... the world around them.

Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.

A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.

When I write a song it's always from the point of view: makes the song the best it can be.

You've got to believe. Never be afraid to dream.
