I like bands for a long time, even when they're not trendy anymore. I still like Arcade Fire. I've always liked Stevie Wonder.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

You can meet lots of actors who are in their own world and do their own thing, and they have no idea what's going on and they don't know anyone's name around them.

I didn't set out to be famous; if I'd wanted that, I would have gone on Big Brother.

You always felt not happy about things, but you just couldn't put your finger on what was going.

Taking sartorial risks and not following other people is what makes you stand out.
