I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.

I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.

I like to play golf. I like to shoot hoops.

The gray area, the place between black and white - that's the place where life happens.

All you can do as an artist is do what you think is an extension of you. You put down on paper ... who you are. That's what being an artist is all about. And when it gets done, you don't look back at it and say, Oh, I could have done that better.

Even as a kid I would find the one person whose attention I didn't have and I would zone in on that person. It became a challenge.

As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.
