The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
If you make something good and interesting and not ridiculing someone or being offensive, the creators of the original material will like it.
I always loved cars. I used to play 'Need for Speed' all the time... any racing game.
There are a lot of people who can now see me as an artist for the first time.
My artwork gets stolen all the time; it's ridiculous.
Living a very long time would be a very scary thing.
When I was a child, I used to cry all the time.
I count all the time on resonance. I call on this, you see.
I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.
The first time I went out under the spotlight, I was proper freaked out.
Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.
A lot of the time, I was unhappy as a kid, so I spent it, I guess, in a gray place.
It was a little at a time but I broke out my Walkman and my lyric pad and started writing.
I was signed at 19 years old to a major label, and dropped by the time I was 22.
Some songs go super-quick; some take a really long time.
I ended up performing on a full time basis and I never got to Julliard at all.
I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.
The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all your time.
Another time I cracked two of the vertebrae in my back and broke a rib.
Then, after the war it was impossible to travel, after so many years of Hitler and Stalin.
But you can travel on for ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.
