I have songs about growing up, about ex-relationships - ex-relationship, I should say.

As I'm growing, so is my music.

Growing up in a suburban home, the world seems so massive to you. It seems like cities are so big and so far away, and there's so much in them. So your imagination runs wild, instead of when you are born in the middle of Manhattan, you'd know, like, that this is the biggest city.

There are tons of women's perfumes that I've smelt and been like, 'I love that. I would totally wear that,' and lots of women smell a lot of men's cologne and think the same thing about that. I think there should be no reason to put gender on it.

I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.

It's 2010. I'm forty-three years old. I've just turned in the final draft of what will be my third novel when I decide I want a tattoo. Maybe it's a middle-age thing. Or maybe now that my kids are nearly grown and I have a career in place, I'm finally coming into my own.

I think definitely 'Robot 2' is a milestone in my career.

We want real job creation and a fertile business environment for small business owners.
