I've had insomnia since I was five years old. I just don't require much sleep. I'm never tired.

I really do love pop. I understand songwriting, I understand the business, and I'm not stuck in any one particular time period.

If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

With Sumthin Else Music Works, I wanted to spread the love and give newcomers a chance to make it because something that really helped me were all the people who had given me an opportunity when I was putting my career together.

You can fool a person into going to see a movie with a good trailer.

Everything about my life was culturally rich, and all the people I met sort of reinforced the wackiness that was normally inside of me. No one said, 'You can't do that,' until I got to real record companies, that is.

What do great artists do when you see a world around you that's in turmoil? Some of the best artists make you feel good (hah), they look to the future.
