It's Really A Sad Story, And I

I Don't Feel I Made Any Sacrifices At All. I'm Doing My Best To Juggle.

There Is Always A Bit Of Pressure To Do A Good Album - To Do Good Work, Period. I Really Put A Lot Of Pressure On Myself, More So Than Other People. But I Try Not To Let That Overwhelm Me To The Point Where I Can't Even Do Good Work. I Just Put It Aside And Do The Best That I Know That I Can.

You Have To Enjoy Your Job; You Should Wake Up Every Day And Love What You Do... I Honestly Do... From The Bottom Of My Heart To The Depths Of My Soul. I'm Truly Happy.

I Wanted To Be Different And Original But Still Have It Be Something My Fans Could Get Into. There Also Are Some Big, Beautiful Ballads. I Told My Producers That I Wanted Tracks That Are Going To Blow Up In The Clubs, But I Also Wanted Songs That Were Very Melodic And With A Lot Of Instrumentation.

I Don't Have To Go Back To Australia Until Next Year To Finish Shooting [the "matrix" Sequels]. It Actually Works Out Great, Because I Have The Time Needed To Support The Album And Tour. ... It's Kind Of Hard Juggling Both Of Them, Because It's Double The Workload. But The Way I Look At Is I Just Let It Work Itself Out, Let It Flow. If I Don't Think About It, It Won't Drive Me Crazy.
