I think the French girls are fabulous.

I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: "Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me". It's a very common thing.

I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

There's nothing bigger than being asked to perform at the Super Bowl.

So many times, I will have people tell me what I did when I was younger. There's so much being written [about] the early Beatles period, and even pre-Beatles period. And people will say, "Oh, he did that because that, and that happened because of that." And I'll be reading and think, "Well, that didn't happen" and, "That's not why I did that." Like anyone's history, you remember what went down better than people who weren't there.

The last time I twerked I was with @katyperry. She was rather good at it!

But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
