Make yourself do something stupid so when you really do something stupid you won't feel so bad

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.

When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs. A Frank Sinatra album sets a certain mood, just as a Clash record sets another.

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 dated the same girl all through high school.

I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.

If your like me, you like to wait till your parents are having sex and walk in on them and act like its an accident, and then ask if you can join in.
