I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart.

Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.

Being famous hasn't made my life any easier. Every minute I'm dealing with the baby-sitters is one more minute I'm not training.

Behold, on wrong Swift vengeance waits; and art subdues the strong.

Within a scantily plotted, novella-style narrative (the movie is an adaptation of a short story by Tom Bissell), single shots become story events that mere mention would spoil.

You can't call a ninja lord dweeb.

I love '30 Rock.' Absolutely love it. It's a game-changing show.
