Grobanite makes me think of a type of harmless crustacean.

When I started in the music business, travel became a huge part of my world, where it hadn't been at all. I visited parts of the world that I'd never been to and found that I was spending maybe 30 days at home a year.

If I'm in a relationship, I'll go to the ends of the earth. If I'm on the road and we have a conversation, and she says, "God, I really wish I was there with you right now," I'll hang up the phone, send a car, and have the plane ready.

When you're walking in, basically like a kid a candy store, to a project where there's an endless canon of material, you have to step back from it as a self-indulgence. You have to look at it neutrally.

Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.

I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth.

Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.
