There are so many great songs yet to sing.

When it's open and honest, that's when the real nature of who you are as a vocalist or as a performer, all of that stuff can finally start to become what it's supposed to be. Like a settling into yourself. It's not even a musical thing, it's a whole mindset, a whole acceptance of who you were supposed to be. Life sounds good

It's impossible to make a record when you're ill because it affects how you listen to things. You can't make decisions. It all sounds terrible.

I don't look for bliss, just contentment.

Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.

People are always very nice.

Being in the studio is a really romantic time.
