I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

I thought I knew Elton John, but then it was like, "Woah, Elton's a pimp! He's really amazing." And since Billy and Elton are homies, I'm finally getting it - the two piano boys.

I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, "I can't get drunk like this every night." Things change.

Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

Journalists say my music is "blue wave," or "dreamy," or "jangly-slacker jewel," and none of it really makes sense to me.

I don't have that much experience in the studio, but I'm always really uncomfortable when I'm there. You're on the clock and it costs a lot of money.

When you're growing up, you just take what you've got.

The earth is crying for people who make sound judgement and informed decisions.

I was out of Hell Fire and my black market dealer was dead.

Men are seldom blessed with good fortune and good sense at the same time.

Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.

That's an amazing gift as an actor - to be able to say I have an audience in so many countries in the world and that people know my work.

There is no wrong way to have a body.

I have to pay the bills just like everybody else, but it also pays my soul to work.

Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most - it can be your arms, your chest, your legs - and emphasize that.

Fanatics are, for one thing, boring and, for another, unreliable. They tend to burn out just when you need them.

I don't know about ground rules; but I create the world that arrives with the characters or situation or voice in my head that instigates the piece, whatever form it may take.
