I think that the activism I've become involved with informs and enhances my life in a lot of ways, and definitely career-wise. This record wouldn't exist [without that activism], for one.

I think I'm more effective as an activist if I stay in music, to be honest. Music, the way it reaches people and transcends divisions, is a really effective and powerful forum.

I enjoy working out. That is important for me. Whether it's a hike with my dog or an hour at the gym, I like to maintain an active lifestyle.

There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.

It's surely no accident that there are horoscopes in Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Woman, New Woman, Elle and Cosmo ... but not Sports Illustrated, GQ, Esquire, Field & Stream or Guns & Ammo.

It's time for us as a country to try to come together in ways that freedom was really meant to be.

Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.
