Of course, success takes you where your character can't sustain you.

When I listen to a Coldplay record, you're gonna hear an indie band, and you know that's what you're gonna get from Coldplay. With myself, I'm not sure it's the same.

I need to make money, but I don't want to be another guy selling his McDonald's to the pop market.

You can't go up to girls and start talking about minor 7ths and expect to pull. It's not going to work.

I grew up not really having a father figure, and it didn't bother me, because he wasn't there in the first place. But then he started other families, and I was jealous. It was like he was happy without our family.

I've got perfectionist issues, as I can't seem to let tracks out the studio - it drives my manager nuts.
