Every celebrity relationship where the engagement is announced and talked about, you know these things are just doomed.
I love people who look like they have a chip on their shoulders, like Alicia Keys.
I mean, we keep getting these rock records where you don't feel the effort. I want to feel an impact, even just for myself, you know?
Lately, I've felt this return to joy, and that makes other people easy around me.
I have all this technology-you know, I built this really cool recording studio in San Francisco-but when I write, it's with an acoustic guitar and a yellow notepad. I keep it very simple.
Well, I would sit on the bed with my guitar, write these really personal songs, and then take them around the world.
That's what drew me to rock music in the first place - that sense of remaking the world on your own terms.
Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit.
What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.
I've always identified with the misfits
My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.
There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state
I like that gathering moment where the music is about to begin, that moment right there. It's like jumping out of an airplane. It's that moment when the lights go out and then you're in it.
You just gotta go after things you like.
