I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

I'm from Sweden so I don't enjoy winter at all; there's nothing cute about it.

I probably thought that about most of the things I did. But you wind up in situations where you have to make decisions very quickly, and you just go for it a lot of the time.

I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time. You want to make something magical; you want to make something wonderful; you want to give to everybody; you want to heal people; you want to still be inspired. That's not easy.

People comment on how you look, it's so unnecessary. I just wanted people to listen to what I have to say instead of focusing on anything else.
