A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.

People are always arguing: New York or L.A.? They're both great places, you know.

I have to say, I'm good with gifts. If I find something perfect for a certain person, I'll just get it and put it away in a kind of nook under my bed - a little gift hutch, if you prefer.

We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others.

My parents separated when I was eight. I grew up with my mom alone.

I'm just going to try and be a good dad and not spoil the kid: give him love and encouragement but also discipline. Me and my woman, we don't want him to feel too entitled.

No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
