I am a dreamer but when I wake, you can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take

No matter whether you are black or white, man or woman, gay or straight, Christian, Muslim, or Jew, we all share the same emotions, the same human condition.

I used to have an eBay addiction. I was really good at selling stuff. My sister needed to get to a funeral in Ireland - the airlines were on strike - so I listed her on eBay: damsel in distress. Guys were outbidding guys to be the hero and help her. A guy who owned a helicopter won.

I think the things that make me excited are only best when they're shared with people.

I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.

I don't think I picked up the guitar in the first place as a way of getting women. There are probably better ways of doing it.

It's always nice to be able to capture your life's experiences in a song and hold the emotion in that way.
