I'm always interested in hearing how other people read and react to my songs. I hadn't thought of it in just that way. One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it's my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs. But I also feel like it's the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don't see.

You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.

It's great, because we've had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.

I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That's so funny.

Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.

In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.
