You want to reach people, but you also want to reach them in the most authentic way. You now have a mass market and an audience that's listening, but they're in love with a song that means absolutely nothing to you.

From the stage, I can reach a large audience, and you learn from being on stage how much a song reaches, what extent of the crowd a song can reach. I write in a way that can reach most of the audience, but I also wanted to have truly intimate moments as well, many intimate moments, more so than the big moments.

The fact that we're going to the playoffs means absolutely nothing, to be honest. I don't think anybody is going to be satisfied losing this game, first of all, and secondly, we lose the division if that's the case.

That had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing. I was sorry he said that.

Awards mean absolutely nothing if you don't get it. If you do get it, they're the best thing in the world.

I could easily escape to a hotel for a weekend and do absolutely nothing.
