Me, as a human, I never want to take away another human being's choices or lifestyles or anything.

If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.

You know, I've been to some superstars' houses, and I've been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They're just there on the walls glaring at you when you're trying to be occupied with other things.

I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

The real color of my hair is mouse. I always want to be ginger, which I was when I was born, or blond, because I live in L.A., and I want to look like I go surfing without any physical effort.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
