Knowing so many people like myself who are singers and in traveling bands, the people you're in a relationship with feel slighted because they feel you're giving all your energy to your fans, and there's a lot of truth to that.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

As a musician, you want the music in as many hands as you can get it into. More importantly, I want people to get the music for the fairest price, and in the most convenient way. And that's really turned into iTunes when you're talking about selling albums.

I still believe I have a lot of liberal thoughts, but I also believe when you work hard, you shouldn't be penalized and pay more because you work hard.

I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.

The Super Bowl is helping out. It's nice that people are bringing some money into Detroit.
