If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

I'm used to people being a mile away. That suits me. It's more nerve-wracking playing in front of people who are two feet away from me.

I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my music, unfortunately.

As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.

If I can give you any advice, it's this: every hour that you spend sat on the couch doing nothing, put it to good use, because when you have kids, an hour is like a lifetime.

I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.

You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.
