I remember the first guy who offered me a joint in the bathroom. I said 'No, man, I've got enough problems.'

But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.

Keep your nose to the grindstone. It sharpens your boogers.

As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.

The blues are just a heightened sense of awareness of life's ups and downs, and things that a guy sees after a couple hits of Jack Daniels.
