I joined Facebook purely so I could play online Scrabble. You have eight tiles instead of seven, so you tend to have higher scores. I'm somewhere between 400 and 500.

I always feel kind of absurd and presumptuous presenting a speech.

There are a lot of public figures who, before they take a stand on a issue, they talk about it with their publicist and they figure out how it's going to affect record sales. Life is really too short to worry about that sort of thing.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

Because we find somethings distasteful is not justification enough for us to deem them criminal.
