You’re allowed to believe in a god. You’re allowed to believe unicorns live in your shoes for all I care. But the day you start telling me how to wear my shoes so I don’t upset the unicorns, I have a problem with you. The day you start involving the unicorns in making decisions for this country, I have a BIG problem with you.

Every night I try to look at the audience and treat every audience differently. It's almost like it's a single entity or a person. I always try to treat it like a conversation and allow it to happen naturally in the same way that you would engage in conversation.

It sometimes takes 6 months or more after you've written and recorded it before you can start to enjoy the experience of singing the song.

I think that in school I was really shy. And even today when people meet me they are shock to see just how not-crazy I am.

It's funny when you start writing an album and then recording - the songs begin to take on a spirit of their own. Once you start to perform it live, this happens even more so than in the studio. They really start to develop a personality that takes shape over time with the audience.

I think with the live shows it's giving you that opportunity to do something on stage that you don't normally do.

The songs that give you the most trouble become your best songs.
