I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio.

When something is dramatized, it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.

Whether you're talking about MSNBC or Fox or CNN, it's all about getting enough interest out there, sensationalizing the story in such a way that people are compelled to tune in.

People want to have a voice and a say in what is news.

News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

Well, news is anything that's interesting, that relates to what's happening in the world, what's happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

There is always sleaze in the news. And you know what? The news is always a combination of things that are interesting and things that are important.
