Why do scuba divers fall backwards off a boat? Because if they fell forwards they'd still be in the boat.

I'm always asking friends what new music they're into, and I love showing people new talented artists.

I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.

We never really set out to talk about California on the album ['California'], it was something that we noticed that was happening about three-quarters of the way through the recording process. We were looking at which songs we thought would make the record and we realised that there was this theme coming through. I think it's just a product of being in California for as long as I have.

I don't want to spend a month and a half in a studio with music I don't like, and fortunately I don't have to.

From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you're in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly.

The Beatles never get old.
