It's our God forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved.

I was looking for inspiration. I found it in California. The weather was always great, and the majority of San Diego seemed to be youth-and if you weren't 21 and couldn't get into the clubs, you'd go to a coffeehouse and hang out.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon would often write a song a day, so I have the same workmanlike philosophy.

Everything in life influences my music.

I think especially with the Internet and the amount of reality shows that are going on, there's no way to keep a secret anymore, so I try to let my project be as much as reality show as I can allow it to be.

The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophe.

When you choose to be a loving person, it's magical how love comes back to you and brightens someone's day, changing your mood and that of the world.
