I’ve never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that – of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.
If you're lucky enough to be different, never change.
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

I like things that make me feel seven again. I don’t ever look down on people for the way they choose to have fun; it’s just not necessarily the way I like to have fun.
