Tact is rubbing out another's mistakes, not rubbing them in.
As for drinks, I'm a sucker for flavored teas.
It's the lifestyle of easy money, fast cars and supermodels that keep me going.
I don't like to do things the same way every time. You always want to be evolving as a composer, and if your creative process is exactly the same each time, then how do you expect today's work to be any different from yesterday's?
I'm just trying to survive and stay relevant! That's all anyone in the music business can ask for.
It's easy to be a one-hit wonder. It's hard to stay relevant for more than a few years.
You just plant a few seeds, cultivate the shoots, and watch your career grow and branch out. It takes time and dedication. There are no overnight success stories in the music business!
I started out as a molecules kid. In high school and early college I loved chemistry, but I gradually shifted toward physics, which seemed cleaner - odorless, in fact.
I came in as an established artist. People were hiring me for what I did and for who I was. I think that has given me a vast amount of leeway; I feel so lucky that I came in that way.
I'm a much healthier eater and I've lost quite a bit of weight over the years.
I think I liked writing a novel better. Obviously, it's more rewarding. It's that marathon thing where it sucks when you're doing it, but you're proud of yourself at the end, and you've done it, and at the very least, nobody can take that away from you.
