Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.
We all need a place that we can go, And feel over the rainbow
I live a pretty anonymous life.
I love what I do, so I don't mind working.
As I've moved along - not only my life, but my career and things like that - you look at yourself and start going, 'Oh, man, are you still doing what you set out to do? Are the ideals you had still the same?' Sometimes you measure up and sometimes you don't.
You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
As an experience, as a listener, for me, I miss the record store. I miss going in and knowing the guy at the counter and being like, "Hey," knowing that he was going to hate the record I put on the counter, and still buying it. That takes some guts.
Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.
I'm not into cold weather, I like warm weather.
I wasn't a very good teacher.
People love music, they're always going to love music, it's our job to consistently push ourselves as artists to keep delivering stuff for people to stay engaged with.
