“Oh, I think it’s definitely spiritual. All music is. I think it’s maybe one of the highest forms of spirituality.”

I didn’t come here and I ain’t leavin’.

Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.

You’ll never get ahead by blaming your problems on other people.

When songs fall from the sky, all I can do is catch them before they hit the ground.

Heard you told him that you’d love him ’til the end of time. Now that’s the same thing that you told me.

What has changed is that nothing has changed. That’s what has made me more unhappy than everything else.

You can’t make a record if you ain’t got nothin’ to say.

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Marijuana is like sex: If I don’t do it every day I get a headache.

I’m crazy for trying, crazy for crying, and I’m crazy for loving you.

But if you think of all the people who don’t like me, just think of all the millions who’ve never heard of me!

I don’t think any person has any special knowledge about what God has planned for me and you any more than me and you do.

Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.

I’m drinking doubles now that you’re running around single again.

If you want to make marijuana legal, you’ve got to stay straight long enough to f – vote.

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

I would definitely say I’m predominantly a pop artist, obviously, but my music is different. It’s not just top-40-radio-type music.

I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and ’60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that’s where I got my first taste for music.

When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven’t even seen that part of it that much.

When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.

Ever since Two Daughters I’ve been composing my own music.

I’ve always had a passion for music – it’s a real part of me.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that’s fine; it’s OK. I don’t want to be the McDonald’s of music.
