Ask about music growing up, I'll tell you I grew up playing classical music, and I didn't grow up in a musical household.

My goal really was to make pop music feel as human as possible.

I want to have a long career. But that's based on wanting people to buy into my voice and not into a fabricated image.

It's really easy to go viral, but I think it's really hard then to have a career.

It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.

I tell the truth where it's the ethical thing to do, but in terms of entertainment, there's a certain fun and enjoyment that can be added to the experience by a few judicious lies.

I learned a valuable lesson doing 'Mr. Sunshine,' which is that I didn't want to be in charge because it's too much. Being in charge and acting in every scene was just too difficult. It's like eating dinner in a moving golf cart every night.

The philosophy of life is this: Life is not a struggle, not a tension... Life is bliss. It is eternal wisdom, eternal existence.
