I find myself going out on the road to get my confidence back, because I lose it at home.

I think the whole world is dying to hear someone say, 'I love you.' I think that if I can leave the legacy of love and passion in the world, then I think I've done my job in a world that's getting colder and colder by the day.

I just like people. I'll hold a conversation at a gas station. It's not about the fame and the fortune, I just like people.

I find the greatest songs in the world come out of pain, and I don't like it! Here's what it does: It strips away all of your facade. It makes you so honest. It's cleansing.

All artists are egotistical maniacs with inferiority complexes.

Lionel Richie, love song, OK, thank you very much, good-bye. And all of a sudden I realized that, in my career, what has made my career has always been the surprises.

Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
