Listen, I'm out of this system, man, I'm out... I'm doing better than ever. I couldn't be more happy.

I like birthday cake. It's so symbolic. It's a tempting symbol to load with something more complicated than just 'Happy birthday!' because it's this emblem of childhood and a happy day.

I didn't want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren't good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that's not the healthiest of responses.

I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.

One of the things I've really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that.

If you can figure out my success on the screen, you're a better man than I.
