People around me called me an idol, so that's what I was.

If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.

I stopped caring what people thought.

I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.

If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.

Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing.

When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didnt have time to think.

I guess you could say I'm cautious, or a coward.

Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventurous person. I don't look for change.

May every soul reconnect to the Creator.

A humble man speaks not of his own humility

Do what is best for you--no matter what others think.

Everyone realized I was the innocent victim of a shakedown.

You know in that moment of Disney when Ariel gets legs for the first time? I felt like that. I was like, 'I've got legs.'

There's too many interesting women I have…not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed.

I'm not telling anyone, 'Quit your job and be homeless to go for your dream.'

I really love the traditional aspects of Judaism. My wife is born and raised a Catholic and I enjoy celebrating those rituals as well. I am very spiritual but not in any way religious, no.

How old do you have to get before wisdom descends like a plastic bag over your head and you learn to keep your big mouth shut? Maybe never. Maybe you get more frivolous with age.

Fake it until you make it. Pretend to be somebody until that somebody turns into you.
