I really like this trend of songwriting that is honest and intelligent and serious and longing.

As an artist, you're always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I've really achieved something.

It's not really cool to be singled out.

Sometimes I go to movies, and it's just a bombardment, and I'm not entertained by them - I'm assaulted by them! And I know I sound like such a drama queen, but I find that really strange.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like.

I like sitting close to windows.
