Sorry I did not link my song in that tweet to make it about me it's just that the song is literally about this disgusting situation and speaks more eloquently than I can on Twitter.

I've thought about every single word on this album for two years; I'd think about a tweet for 20 seconds. My album's gonna go out to, what, 10 million people, but a tweet could go out to a billion. The maths doesn't work out. I'll die on the hill of my records, but I won't die on the hill of my tweets. It's better to say good things less than to say average things more.

I think YouTube has destroyed the genre barrier. People can be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the same time. It's a good thing.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.

When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that.

We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet, the world we live in has changed, and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.
