Music drives me insane, the incessant presence of music in my life. It informs how I see the world; it drives me crazy

Everything that we've ever done has led up to this moment, so I presume there's a certain intricacy in that.

I think what I listen to now is what I listened to as a kid which is kind of black American soul. I love soul music.

I think everything in life is an evolution, isn't it?

When you start becoming a pop star, you think, Hold on a second, maybe my life is different now - maybe all these people that I thought of as celebrities are going to be normal, and when I walk into a room I'm going to be really cool and so is everyone else. But that's not what happens at all - I was awkward, and then I just retreated from any social engagement for about a year.

When I was young I was one of those kids that got pulled onstage at a Green Day concert. That was pretty awesome.

I need to keep my dancing on the right side of weird, otherwise it might get a bit like "American Idol."
