Lately, I've felt this return to joy, and that makes other people easy around me.
Every celebrity relationship where the engagement is announced and talked about, you know these things are just doomed.
Well, we get to play in front of people who go out and spend their money on tickets, and I'm completely overwhelmed by that.
I have all this technology-you know, I built this really cool recording studio in San Francisco-but when I write, it's with an acoustic guitar and a yellow notepad. I keep it very simple.
Well, I would sit on the bed with my guitar, write these really personal songs, and then take them around the world.
We're going to play really long tonight. They're gonna have to drag us off the stage tonight.
But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
So I like that sound, but I am not interested in being retro.
I think if it's not monumental, there's no point.
I love people who look like they have a chip on their shoulders, like Alicia Keys.
I'm now getting back to the authentic, to the nitty-gritty.
I learned that you cannot put the relationship second. Because love is not enough.
I mean, we keep getting these rock records where you don't feel the effort. I want to feel an impact, even just for myself, you know?
I like people who have a pulse and aren't afraid to show it.
