My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'

I have a mug that actually verifies that I'm the world's best dad. That's a mug. That's not me talking. You can't just buy those.

I don't have interns. I don't have a manager. I don't have assistants. I don't have a secretary. I can't figure out Outlook Express. I'm the worst person in the world answering e-mails, and my phone is probably the oldest, most battered phone you can find. So I just talk to people.

I dreamt for years about making albums and doing world tours-I'd fulfilled all my ambitions in one year.

On the other hand, always aim to be the best in what you do and give 100%.

My father always said, 'I don't care if you're a ditch digger, as long as you're the best ditch digger in the world.'
