I remember I autographed it to Mutt Lange, and I may only have put one t on Mutt. I mean, I'd never heard of such a name. I'm sure he must've thought that was quite funny. He must've known from that autograph, right off the bat, that I had no idea who he was.

Why do people criticise his intelligence when he can do something as miraculous as that?

There were moments when I really just thought, I don't need anything and I don't need anyone. I just want to go away and disappear.

My passion is more in songwriting than ... in being a star.

Now that I have and I'm not a have-not, I've learned how important it is to maintain humility.

My divorce was like a death - a genuine death of commitment and love. After I got over the shock, I was like, tell me theres some way we can save this. We can save this, right?

I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.
