I'm a big advocate of music being an honest representation of who you are as a person and your perspective.

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

I'm a nice guy, but I like to get into trouble.

The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.

Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined.

'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.

Most people know my music based on the singles, and think of it as scandalously romantic. There's definitely a romantic vibe, but I often sing things that are very direct. I don't beat around the bush much.
