Playing music to me is as close to having super powers as you can have.

I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. There's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. Well they're not good enough. Write it! I want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. You're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. That's what I really think it is. Well it's all right. Well, how do you know? It's not done!

Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.

It’s my failure to sound like my heroes that’s allowed me to sound like myself.

I am not in 'Us Weekly.' I'd have to be going out with someone who is in there to be in there myself.

You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.

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