You have this special connection with someone if you're their first record or their first concert or their first poster or whatever it is.

The propensity to do good things is a choice.

I look at old interviews and things and they say, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' I say, 'I want to be a producer.' And I'm really fortunate that I was able to do it.

I'm not a big fan of religion for that reason. But I am a true believer in God, and I have great faith, and I think that a spiritual connection with something is a really important part of our experience. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the church.

I was a teen idol and that has a short shelf life.
