I can't write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche.

I have breakups that I can credit to every song. In my twenties, I picked people who would create that dysfunction and drama, so I could draw upon it.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

I'm kind of a rebound junkie. So. when a relationship goes sour, I look at the sweetness in life elsewhere. So, I date a bit. The best catharsis is to write jokes and tell 4,000 people about it.

Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they're just hard.

I just always have to cry out a breakup, and then I can make peace with it pretty quickly.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

I believe much of the pain of a breakup comes from having a life plan that you have fallen in love with. When it does not work out, you become angry that you now have to pursue a new life plan.

Sometimes when you make a record and it's not successful, you just don't want to go through that process for a while. You want to have your wounds heal.

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.
