I love being in the world of the unknown.

Lyrics are kind of the whole thing; it's the message. Something might have a beautiful melody but if it's not the truth coming out of your mouth, it's not appealing

I find the songs I want to record by listening to as much music as I can. 'When I hear things I really like, I ask the writers to send me a tape of everything they've ever written.

I started with the classical violin when I was 6, and I guess it went well.

I don't look for bliss, just contentment.

Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.

I don't know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.
