I want to be the first guy from my generation who doesn't just represent one record but the promise of a lot of them.

If you get half a million, at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people, if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.

If you had started doing anything two weeks ago, by today you would have been two weeks better at it.

My hits are not hits.

I'm willing to make compromises based on someone I think is the one, but I think it's psychologically important to people when they're famous to be the only famous person they know.

It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.

I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.
