I follow cool. When I went up to see Steve Jobs, I said, 'The party's at this guy's house.'

Every artist and every song has an idea, and the producer's job is to capture it.

I learned how to do absolutely nothing - I didn't learn one thing in high school. If I had to get a job at the A&P, they had to teach me how to sweep.

I'm interested in listening to the people who walk in the door. If your ego and your accomplishments stop you from listening, then they've taught you nothing.

There are 38,000 people dying of hunger each day and most are children. And, being a celebrity, I communicate about it as much as I can.

Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'.

On the streets, unrequited love and death go together almost as often as in Shakespeare.

For me, what works well about 'Life in a Day' is that it's emotionally affecting without being manipulative. It really does make you think about the connectivity of the world, the similarities and differences. It shows the experiences we all go through: birth, childhood, falling in love, having kids, getting ill, dying.
