People think I'm really melancholy and romantic and all whispery. I'm not at all. I'm very direct.

I've learned now to talk, act or walk famous. I can still walk around New York, without being molested or bothered. I don't mind autographs - that's part of it. I just do not see the point of being "out there" or behaving outrageously. It will bring nothing but trouble.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.
