I'm experiencing the mood to go out and share the music. I don't look at these concerts as a platform for people to watch me, look at me. No, a tour is about an interaction. A thing, myself, a band, and the people who support what I do and enjoy what I do.

God gave me the gift to be able to play instruments and I have to play.

At first people thought I was really arrogant and a snob about music because I'm so intense about my production and sound, and because they knew I didn't like new music so much.

It's like a dream to come to Spain and stay for a couple of years and get somebody to teach me Spanish music.

I had no idea 'The Hunger Games' was so big. I didn't even know the book. I had been living under my own rock.

You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.
