I've never done an album in the same place really - I like to be able to remember where I did every single one of them .

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.

Stand alone when it is to your benefit, with others when it is to your advantage, and with everyone when it is to your empowerment.

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

I love anybody funny. I think my ten-year-old sister is really funny. She makes me laugh way more than most people do.

Music is an important part of our culture and record stores play a vital part in keeping the power of music alive

When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.

When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.

Good commanders look after their troops, and good troops look after their commanders.

I think that I the biggest thing that I need is more creative time. More time to make mistakes.

You need to be disciplined and you need to try to occupy a zone of acting that is always quite scary because you don't think you're doing anything.

Often extraordinary excellence, not being rightly conceived, does rather offend than please.
