I only did karaoke once in my life. It was with Courtney Love and it was a total disaster. She pulled me on stage in front of 500 people at a wedding. I'd never done karaoke before.

I live by the rule that you should follow your dreams…no matter what you do, you should follow your dreams

Don't you just want to make something that lives forever? Something that's phenomenal, something that's great, something that's undeniable? That touches the core of every person that hears it?

I just think it's really important to be yourself and not trying to be something you're not.

I think I remember from the offset I said, 'I've visited this territory. This isn't for me.' And then I read the script and I said, 'You know, this is completely something different. This is a whole new life.'

When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.

I was and I still am a dreamer, that made me the person I am today
