There are some public figures who are very private and almost hide behind their work. I try to be as open as possible.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

Musicians, actors, writers - we're all neurotic, odd people who've lucked into accidental careers. So I just don't like being around public figures with that sense of entitlement, it just seems unhealthy, and it strips so much potential for them to develop as a human being.

The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.

Whether the Virgin Mary existed, I don't know. But the human need for her to appear in tortilla, that's what inspires my interest.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

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