Even when I'm singing on record there's a lot of times when I'll fight for a bit of imperfection. I might not have quite hit the note to the perfect pitch, but there was a soul in there and feeling that,to me, delivers the emotion of that moment. For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not going to be perfect - that's the thrill of it.

The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.

My son makes me super giddy, especially when he laughs. His laugh makes me laugh like a maniac!

All of us are different. That's what makes us interesting and special. I don't want to be anything like another person. I want to be totally myself and go against the grain, forge my own path. I've learned that being different is what makes you stand out. It makes everything so much more intriguing.

Your life can become the background for the art you create.

I have this vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle jacket. When I put it on, it has this supercool feeling to it.
