Take your records, take you freedom, take your memories, I dont need 'em. And take your cat, and leave my sweater, cause we've got nothing left to weather.

You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don't even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.

Red carpets are pretty unpredictable. You can go from one person asking you what you're wearing to the next person asking you about the situation in Haiti. It's the extreme juxtaposition, and some of the questions can throw me!

I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.
