There are a lot of artists who haven't lost anything to domesticity. In my case, it probably did happen.

Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.

My record producer [David Kahne] said the major record labels these days are like dinosaurs sitting around discussing the asteroid. They know it's going to hit. They don't know when, they don't know where it's coming from. But it's sort of hit already. With iTunes, and all of that.

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.

I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.

I guess the ultimate luxury professionally is to be able to change your direction, to work in another medium.
