alcohol needs site
I don’t shake at the site of alcohol anymore. I don’t feel the need for it. If anything I’ll get stoned. I always told myself if it got to the point that it was affecting my songwriting and music that I’d stop. And it did get to the point.
kings decision suffering
Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).
guitar cheesy keyboards
That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.
trying matter sam-cooke
When I hear Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come', it frustrates me because no matter how hard I try, I can never be that good.
hands annoying jerk
The British press can be so annoying. They jerk you off with one hand and smack you with the other.
fans snl bigs
I am a fan of 'SNL' and a big Jimmy Fallon fan, too.
talking interviews matter
No matter who I'm talking to, I always talk like I'm doing an interview.
old-friends ashamed
No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
tanning sometimes results
Sometimes I've sat outside, not to tan, but as a result of that I ended up tanning slightly.
dare knows
Don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do.
sleep night thinking
I very often have night terrors. Just think of the worst possible situation, and it's a regular thing for me. I've died in my sleep twenty-three different ways.
sweaters people tennis
People often put me in a V-neck tennis club sweater, driving a Bentley, but my life wasn't like that.
confused trying make-yourself-happy
I feel slightly confused about certain things. Practical and tactical things. When you try to make everyone happy… in the end you've got to make yourself happy.
flaws
We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others.
