However, if you listen to me I think you can hear years of abuse in my voice - both bad abuse and good abuse.
I don't have a good attention span and can't spend long in record stores or video shops or games emporiums without getting grumpy.
Why would I want to sound like Joni Mitchell? I've got Joni Mitchell records, and they're great, and I couldn't possibly be that good.
I really like Ariana Grande, Jessie J, and Nicki Minaj's song, the 'Bang Bang' song. It's the new 'Lady Marmalade.' So good.
Nobody wants to make a bad 'Flight of the Navigator' remake. There's just no interest. We're going to do it if it's good.
Storytelling is storytelling. Good stories need compelling characters and interesting conflicts. That's the bottom line no matter what medium you're writing for.
I like happy sets. Happy sets are good, and I think people feel comfortable on them.
If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home, they become latchkey kids, and trust me, the consequences of that are not good.
I'm not an Internet person that reads behind-the-scenes stuff. I see a trailer, and if it looks good, then I go. That's that.
If you are a good writer - and I think I am - you are able to handle any kind of group and imagine their lives.
It's fun singing with other people who are really good singers. There's something kind of poignant about braiding a couple vocals.
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.
There are all kinds of ways that people present their films, but that's kind of a good feeling, if you can make it seem like the characters are really there.
Secrets make for good drama, and revealing the hidden truths and contradictions of life is, for me, one of the most exciting aspects of making movies.
Most of the producers don't know what they do. The misconception of the producers' function is really not a misconception. Most producers don't do a very good job.
In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.
I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.
I learned I'm not a good executive, I'm an entrepreneur and I'm creative. I have to go with my gut and do what I want to do.
Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.
