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.

It just seems like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world.

I'm not sure how healthy it is to shoot police helicopters with bazookas.

Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

I've never seen Friends; I've never seen Seinfeld. I've heard people reference these things but I've never seen them.

I don't sleep very well when I travel. And as a result, I tend to be awake in cities when everyone else is asleep.

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.
