I know my ambitions are big, but you've got to have something after rock and roll.

I have so many plans! Sometimes it's hard to keep up because at this point it's just been me and the little bit of help my label gives me.

My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. I love the fairy tale of it. And Gone With the Wind was always one of my favorites because it's so dramatic and stunning.

I love Chrissie Hynde and Mick Jagger. Someone at Capitol pointed out how much my inflections are similar to Jagger's.

There are very few interviews I turn down, because I really dig talking to people and hanging out.

I classify myself as a student and a teacher. This year, I'm back into the student. I try to stay balanced. I learn so much every time I walk about my door.

If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.
