People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them.

Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing.

Friends, lovers, or nothing, we can really only ever be one.

I may have taken someone through the wringer psychologically, but I've never been sinister.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

People are really concerned with what other people are saying about them.

If you're good, and you know you're good, and you know you're better than those people getting paid to do it, you still have to have an open ear….Nobody's music is the enemy of your music…The idea that someone else has made it when they shouldn't have made it is toxic thinking.
