At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.
At first people thought I was really arrogant and a snob about music because I'm so intense about my production and sound, and because they knew I didn't like new music so much.
One day we're going to watch people fight to the death, like Roman times. Instead of being in a coliseum, we're going to watch it on TV.
I am still into the people I listened to growing up, so I completely remember what is like to be a fan, I haven't changed.
That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
There are so many people that don't believe in themselves and don't have faith.
I mean, look at the people we celebrate - a lot of people who really don't do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they're hooked up with the right people, so they're celebrities. But what for?
You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.
You've got your entourage and people that help you make whatever happen around you. Everything's crazy and you're not paying attention to your inner feelings because you're so busy. I couldn't take it.
A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.
A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really.
Today, people are more into the glitz and the glamour of everything. We don't even read the inside of records anymore.
I don't like to approach people that much. There's been times when I wanted to say something to somebody, in a quick moment, but didn't. Then you think, man, who knows?
If you ask a hundred people, they all give you different answers.
