I'm thinking about coming out with a full body velour jumpsuit. No joke.If I get tired of playing music, I'll go home. I won't come out with a new flavor of ice cream.
I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

I'm willing to make compromises based on someone I think is the one, but I think it's psychologically important to people when they're famous to be the only famous person they know.
I'm not deluded enough to think that everyone who knows my name is a listener. You know, I hope that part of that interest - part of that public interest - has to do with me still making records that people like.
Sometimes I get scared that I’m going to enter a web address into Twitter thinking it was my browser. That would be bad.

I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction.
the trapper keeper is the genisis of OCD for my generation.
We have an immediate and dire need for this. The board has voted already to go ahead with this.
We could finish our season on a winning note. That was certainly our goal. We're real excited. We really are. We're getting there.
