You definitely get more of a band feel to a song if you've been playing a song live a bunch.

I sometimes feel like I need to pinch myself. I feel extremely fortunate.

Sometimes it's hard to hear criticism, or "maybe let's try a different way." People's feelings get hurt.

I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.

My problem was never with the major label, it was with the guy who we put our trust in and then wouldn't take my phone calls once we'd signed to a major label, who then quit.

I'm usually way more pleased with the stuff that just kinda happens by accident and is no way a pop song. But sometimes the easiest thing for me to write is pop songs.

I'm never trying to be commercial or accessible, or saying "let's do this weird stuff, but at the same time we gotta do this safe stuff".

It's hard being the guy that brings in a song, because you're very, you know, it can be something that you get too sensitive about.

I love not being in charge of writing all the songs, and being the front person - the whole thing is cool.

There's no way to replicate a really great vocal sometimes.

I had some really great experiences doing overdubs.

Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.

I want to be one of the top guys in the back end and make sure I keep our team in line and doing the right things in front of me.

I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life.

Recently started flat ironing my ball hair. Come on ladies, you know how it is; if you have curly hair you just want straight hair.

I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money - I think that can be a burden - I’m greedy for an exciting life.

Life came in and put me in front of the camera before I could really make a decision, but I think I probably would have gravitated to film.

The perfidious, savage, disdainful, stupid, slothful, inhospitable, stupid English.

Not till the end of the war will there be any time for art or love or magic again. Perhaps never again.

The soul conceives, the mind creates, the body experiences. The circle is complete.

I'll say it one last time: Be brave.
