More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.

I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.

When someone comes to me and says the music I've made has affected them emotionally, that's the most gratifying part of my job.

I've dated attractive people and I don't find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status.

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.

An artist in 2014 who is thinking about album sales is either sadly deluded or has to make so many commercial compromises that it sort of takes the joy out of making music.

Have I dated a supermodel? Of course not. I'd look ridiculous.
