Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.

I want to do interiors, furniture. I want to do architecture, although I'm not an architect. Nor am I a trained interior designer.

I get hired as a writer or producer and I do the best I can to bring out that artist. If somebody calls you to do something, you go right for that vision and you're aware of that person's vibe. You're trying to get inside of them.

My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.

I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.
