" COSMO: You&amp;#039;ve sung so many love songs, but the first single on this album, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a Beautiful Day,&amp;quot; (check it out here, ladies) is the opposite of a love song. Why is that? MICHAEL: I wanted to write a revenge song because I&amp;#039;ve been known for only these I-haven&amp;#039;t-met-you-yet-and-I&amp;#039;m-gonna-love-you-forever songs. I wrote this for the girl or guy whose boy- or girlfriend treats them like shit, and who is basically saying, &amp;quot;You dumped me, you broke my heart, and honestly life is awesome without you, you f**king bitch!&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s hilarious because I&amp;#039;ve heard all these girls saying, &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s my song! I was with this turd\u2026.&amp;quot; Q: So is the entire album kind of a departure for you? A: I feel like the Benjamin Button of music. I&amp;#039;ve had an older following\u2014so many people were sleeping in the audience that I could&amp;#039;ve stopped singing and they wouldn&amp;#039;t have noticed\u2014but slowly my image is changing and more people are starting to understand my humor and get who I am. I tried to go out on a limb with this album, and for the first time in my life, I felt I could take risks. I&amp;#039;ve never been so content in my personal life, so I felt really brave. Q: What&amp;#039;s the truth behind your nice-guy image? A: I&amp;#039;m just like every other guy. I&amp;#039;m not going to say I was some bad boy\u2014I was never macho in that way\u2014but I think I was quite reckless with hearts in the past. I did the &amp;quot;love &amp;#039;em and leave &amp;#039;em&amp;quot; thing. I put out that karma, and one day, I got it all handed back\u2014I got my heart broken when I was 29 or 30, and it served as a wake-up call. It gave me a chance to go to therapy and admit things to myself and stop glossing over them. The truth is, I didn&amp;#039;t really like myself or respect myself that much for a while, but I learned to accept that we can&amp;#039;t change the past nor predict the future, so we need to live in the moment. Q: What qualities do you especially value in a woman? A: I&amp;#039;m attracted to strong women. I surround myself with them. I&amp;#039;m the opposite of the guy who&amp;#039;s insecure around them\u2014they make me feel more secure. Like my wife [actress/model Luisana Lopilato]. Her job fulfills her and is important to her. And everywhere we go, people like her more than they like me. I love it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
