I get on the airplane and there's a screen in front of everything. You get into a taxicab in New York, there's a screen blinking at you. I think it's going to have a tremendous effect on our brains, because those bright, saturated colors and those strong lines, they do things to your brain.

Rampant eclecticism is my middle name.

When you sing the same song over and over and over again, it stops meaning what it originally meant to you. It starts sounding like white noise, or my washing machine.

You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum, can't you tell by the way I run, every time you make eyes at me.

A lot of singers that I've heard that I may not like their sensibility, but I see that they're entitled to whatever they get. People don't get there without talent, they really don't.

Everywhere you go, there's a soundtrack. You can't really quite hear it. It's just a little out of the range of hearing.
