I'm a news junkie who's constantly reading newspapers and magazines. I look around and see what's happening in the world.

The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot. And as a touring artist, I'm constantly coming and going, but also when I'm at home, my studio's at home. I'm leaving to go into a music world in my head.

It's never too late to start the day over.

No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems.

I was adopted when I was a baby. My mother carried me for nine months and she held me for one hour, and didn't see me again.
