I've never written songs about relationships. I've written songs about how I feel. The songs are more about me, than another person. That's the way I like to look at it.

Find what you are afraid of, face it, and then you won't be afraid of it anymore.

Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

Relationships never break cleanly. Like a valuable vase, they are smashed and then glued back together, smashed and glued, smashed and glued until the pieces just don't fit together anymore.
