I don't feel connected to the whole vision of the record in the same way-it's got all these characters. The point of view of "Love Earth" and the point of view of "Break the Chain" are so different. It's not the same thing, but it is the same thing.

In my songs, I try to look through someone else's eyes, and I want to give the audience a feeling more than a message.

My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop.

Music is the love of my life. It's a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpected and meaningful.

You can do whatever you like with my image, my music, remix it, re-release it, whatever... just never make me boring.

It's kind of limiting using your intellect to write songs like Brown Sugar, isn't it? The only thing I'm really interested in is comparative religion and ancient history.
