My favorite thing in the world was to make people sing - until I made people laugh. Then that became my favorite thing in the world.

England is the first country that I've had a no. 1 album in, so it is now officially my home away from home.

I kiss people with my soul. I don't kiss them with my mouth.

I have 20,000 girlfriends, all around the world.

There was a point in my teenage years, when we were starting to play bigger shows and females were running after tour buses and all that, and my mom - and I remember this like it was yesterday - said: 'Look, I want you to know that I couldn't be prouder of you. You are extraordinary. You move people. But it doesn't make you better than them. You still put your pants on the same way as them, one leg at a time every morning.' I thought about learning to jump right into them, just to mess with her. But what she said stuck with me, and I think it's true.

There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars.

Listen, I'm not cool. Being cool is about keeping your blood pressure steady. So no. Don't be cool. Be passionate. Be dedicated. Be tenacious. Be uncompromising. Be pissed. Be happy. Be sad.
