As an artist, you take things from your environment, and there's going to be a style coming out of your environment.

I love him (Muse) too much, and you can't hurt someone that you love that much . . . unless you're family.

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

I don't like making my job easier. How are you accomplishing anything if there's no struggle? If I have to create a struggle that doesn't exist, I'll do that. Time and money constraints are a great way to do it.

It's a sound bite. It's very of this age, because that's what people want.

If you're asking if I would be foolish enough, or insulting enough, to write about people in my life that I respect and sell it to the masses as a "break-up song," I can't imagine doing that to people I love.

If you're doing something that people want, they'll find you.
