I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.

Because I don't think it's very healthy to hold people to idealized views. I think that's a certain stage in life, something kids do. You have to go through that idealistic phase with your parents, but at a certain point, you need to see people as just people.

But, you know, I'm sorry, I think democracy requires participation. I mean, I don't want to proselytize but I do feel some sort of duty to participate in the process in some way other than just blindly getting behind a political party.

Once you get to that point when you can just be yourself and relax, I just think that you're so much happier in general.

As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?

I love when you aren't accountable to anybody or anything, and you can just be wherever you are.
