I think that the best part of music is when it comes from a real place and has an ability to kind of connect on a much larger scale. It no longer is a personal thing, it becomes everyone else's thing...

You know, people aren't always the most open-minded.

Some of us are only going to show our emotions while we're actually vulnerable. But that's what makes us human.

I could speak Spanish fluently growing up, but I'm so out of practice, and I have such a tremendous respect for songwriting in the Spanish language.

Man, I grew up like everybody else. Middle-low income family. My parents got divorced like most of the rest of the country.

The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.

I think at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium - just having an audience means the world.

I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.
