I play and I've played in heavy bands, but when I write for myself, I don't particularly feel like writing huge rock riffs. It just doesn't work for me and my voice.

There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work.

I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.

I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor... It's pretty good for you but you can't force it on anyone else.

We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that.

Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.

Well, I'm pretty domestic actually. I walk my dog. I go grocery shopping. I hang out with friends. I'm pretty normal, whatever normal is, on my off time.

No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

...when I decided to be fully honest about whatever my heart undergoes, I found immense peace among the chaos of uncertainties. In my honesty and by acknowledging our big, big God, I found peace.

Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.

Women diet to retain their girlish figures or their boyish husbands.

In real life, Josh [Gad] is a different kind of lovable idiot. In real life, he's a much filthier idiot. He has a dirty sense of humor.

Despair can be like an iron band constricting the heart.

I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given.

Too much work, and no vacation, Deserves at least a small libation. So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses, Work's the curse of the drinking classes.

Designers devote their efforts to change.

God will not make you do something you don't want to do - He will just make you wish you had.
