built cut last next nicely trying worn
I'm trying to not follow fashion. I don't even like the word. But I do like clothes, and I like nicely cut clothes that last and that are built to be worn for the next 30 years.
bit certainly complain given less next nobody planet says wants
I can't complain about the support I've been given over the years, but I don't like it slipping away. Nobody says 'I'd like to be a bit less successful next year, please'. Nobody on the planet wants that, and I certainly don't.
boy brand brother door friend next older people uncle whatever
I think that, to a lot of people, they don't like my brand of whatever I do. And I think that people - the ones that like me, at least - see me as their brother or their older uncle or their friend or their next door neighbour. I am the quintessential boy next door; I feel that way.
ego needs next stage studio
I think my ego needs pampering-I need to be on stage again. So I've started writing, and I'm in the studio next week.
capture drunk feeling grass love next rolling summer
I just wanted to capture the feeling you get on a summer day when you're drunk and you're rolling about on the grass with the person you love next to you.
believe few god watched
Do I believe in aliens? No. I think there could be. Do I believe in God? No, I think there could be. Do I believe that Jesus actually existed? No. I think he could have done. A few things I've seen. A few things I've read. A few things I've watched have sparked my interest. Do I think it could all be rubbish? Yeah. I do.

You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them.
people
Scientology, Buddhism, the Kabbalah... if it makes people's lives better, and easier, then I'll do it. Why not? People scoffed at Christianity 2,000 years ago, didn't they?
backing consider good people pop
I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer.
anywhere boy fan fit good hundred last michael time voice
I'm a fan boy when it comes to Michael Buble. He's just so good at 'it'. He's got a voice of this generation, but he's like a time capsule; he's got a voice that could have fit in anywhere over the last hundred years. It's stellar.
anybody bunch cool great hope months recording spends understand
I want a hit. I don't think anybody spends 12 months writing and recording an album, making something cool, and says, 'Great, I hope this doesn't sell.' I don't understand that mind-set. I want hits: a big bunch of them.
You know, I am a mainstream person with mainstream tastes, and I want to hear the hits.
america famous success terrible
On an emotional level, success in America would be terrible for me; it would be insane. I really, seriously, never want to be famous here.

In Los Angeles, I feel connected to a hubbub of strangeness. And I enjoy that; I like strangeness.
