I don't know many artists who are happy with themselves all of the time.

I run into a lot of people who are instantly filled with ridicule at the idea that someone wouldn't eat meat.

I'm just fascinated with the world that I can see, but I'm even more fascinated with the world that I can't see.

One time I was doing an interview for a gay magazine and halfway through the journalist found out I wasn't gay. He said, 'Sorry, I can't continue the interview.' Because they only had gay public figures in their magazine. I felt so crestfallen. I wanted to tell him: but I play fundraisers for gay marriage! I'd rather my kids were gay than straight!'

I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.

I guess the most emotional part is when I have that moment when I end up writing something that I really, really love. So not only is there the emotional connection with the music that's being created, but there's also the magic of the fact that you're essentially creating something from nothing.

I like being vegan, I think it's good for my health.
