I like cool jackets - a nice fall or winter coat. You can get a lot of use out of it, and you'll wear it frequently, so it can really set the tone of your uniform for the season.

I'm not going to run for office. I don't think that's the right move for me.

In terms of the technology I use the most, it's probably a tie between my Blackberry and my MacBook Pro laptop. That's how I communicate with the rest of the world and how I handle all the business I have to handle.

In the 1970s, for all the Stevie Wonders, I'm sure there were five artists that were making forgettable music.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.

I never went through a period where I didn't want to play music. I've always loved it and it's always been a huge part of my life.
