People want to sensationalize things. That's just the nature of the business.

You don't have to be singing specifically about things that are going on in your life, but because of the nature of music, because it is this incredibly emotional phenomenon, everything that you are feeling or experiencing is relayed in the music you put out.

I like to think of myself as a humanitarian.

I like to think of myself as a people person.

Honestly, if I was looking at myself and I cheated, then I'd just think, 'Wow, how disappointing, I actually thought you were better than that.' It's about me and about the kind of man I want to be.

I mean, I'm married first of all to one of, if not the most wonderful women in the world. She is everything - funny, attractive, hard-working, she has integrity, she loves me to bits.

I love our industry. I love the song. I love the voice. I love it. Not necessarily my voice. But I care about the song and the voice.

I have always strived to do something different, to push myself.

I have failed to continue to set an example for a secure, loving family unit as an example for our children. That is the reality of it. There is no way of getting around it.

We do live in this age of new media.

When I met my wife, my whole life changed on a dime, really quickly and for the better.

I do change the odd lightbulb, and I fix the Internet when it goes down, because it's something I am really good at.

I'm extremely lucky in that my wife is the chief scheduler.

Sport is my passion but I have a way to go.

I always used to say to my wife, the thing that I loved most about us is that we are a team, we are impenetrable in that respect.

To assume that any couple goes without arguing is just nonsense.

The arrival of any child brings you a lot of happiness.

I have no problem putting my feet up and watching football but my mother-in-law is always doing stuff.

I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.

The world is still a fantastic and wondrous place to live.

I like to think that I'm trying to choose love over most things, but that's my choice.

I don't think we can sit on the fence anymore. We have to make up our minds. And if one wants to choose the path of darkness, then so be it, but be conscious of what it is you're doing.

The music industry is really funny, when you have a hit record, everyone knows who are you, everyone wants to do duets with you, then if you have a miss, people suffer from amnesia.

I like to think that the Internet and file sharing, if utilized properly and embraced, and I emphasize properly, is a high-powered marketing design.

People drive everywhere in L.A., so you get very little human interaction... but N.Y. and Chicago are like London... L.A. lacks the social interaction.
