thinking enough checks
You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.
thinking issues people
The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue
thinking thinking-things-through cerebral
I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.
mean thinking design
I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.
thinking creative challenges
You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.
believe thinking artist
I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.
thinking self trying
I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
regret thinking trying
I don't think anything I do in life is planned. Sometimes I regret that and I feel like I try to take ahold of the wheel, but I'm also always super excited when things pop up spontaneously and when I'm a little bit out of my depth. I just find that that thrills me.
enjoying life playing wants
Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.
women
There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.
My career has been riddled with controversy, which I never fully understand.
I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.
guys hear reveal stuff wanna women
Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves.
ended life music people songs stopped
I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
