I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

Before I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, but now, I have had so many different experiences that they have given me what I want to get across in my music.

I think the music I've created is quite odd, and people are going to start talking about that.

The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.

People my age don't always know where their music comes from.

I found my sound early on. Look at U2: they haven't changed their music for 20 years. Anyway, many people come unstuck when they try to change what they do and what they are known for.

The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn.

I feel like, if I'm going to have young, impressionable people listening to my music, then I'm going to respect that.

We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
