I am not dead inside. I still care about right and wrong.

Everything's been a struggle for me.

Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines - hundreds of thousands, by some estimates - live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.

When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.

I tend to fall for the archetypal, talented, charismatic rock boy.
