Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
When people tell you you're on the brink of death, you've got to dig pretty deep to get it together.
It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.
I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing.
Nashville has a great creative atmosphere. It's a small, close-knit music community that you can't find anywhere else.
You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
I saw this DJ playing music and saying things to the kids. They would answer him back, and I say, 'That's a great idea.'
Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit.
I've done my share of busking, and it's fun until it isn't. There are musicians in the subways that will make you cry, they're so good.
The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.
I was an outcast growing up with a bunch of Christian people. My father didn't go to church, and that was not good news if you lived right in the middle of it.
But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It's just when they step over the line that, you know, enough's enough.
I think YouTube has destroyed the genre barrier. People can be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the same time. It's a good thing.
It's fun singing with other people who are really good singers. There's something kind of poignant about braiding a couple vocals.
I must confess, my Spanish is not so good - except I read a little, so I started with the English but then determined that it would have to be in Spanish.
Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.
I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing.
YouTube is a good way to discover new music now because it comes up with that thing at the side with other artists you might like.
There were times when I blundered and got the dreaded look from the lads. But that was a good sign. It showed I'd attempted something I'd not tried before.
