The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue

I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.
