I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.

Just being a human being, I’ve realized that before every big problem you create for yourself, before every huge mess you have to clean up, there was a crucial moment where you could’ve just said no.

When I get to tell a story through music videos or TV, it's all about finding the story that I want to tell, so I'm definitely open to acting roles, it just depends on the story.

Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.

When I hear that high-pitched sound of all those people screaming together, it's like, I want to get on stage right now. It's the most amazing feeling.

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.

My head's never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch 'CSI' or 'Law & Order,' where I have to follow the crime. If I can't turn my head off during that, I know I've really got a problem.
