I'm good with telling people what I think, too, but I don't know why people are so content to treat each other poorly.

I love Korean food, and it's kind of like home to me. The area that I grew up in outside Chicago, Glenview, is heavily Korean. A lot of my friends growing up were Korean and when I would eat dinner at their houses, their parents wouldn't tell me the names of the dishes because I would butcher the language.

I don't mind critics. I mean, I wrote for Rolling Stone for a hot minute. I like criticism. I enjoy criticism. The thing I don't like is cruelty for cruelty's sake. You don't have to be a jerk to say something negative. You can say something in the negative sense and have class.

Eh. Hipster's not really a thing anymore. Plus, hipster or out of touch old dude? Same uniform really.

When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.

I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.

Theres no amount of money that makes you feel better when people think of you as a joke or a hack or a failure or ugly or stupid or morally empty.
