I just think music is such a beautiful thing. It lifts the heart and buoys up your spirits - all kinds of music.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

I think the first time you try anything in a public way, you feel really exposed.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

All I ever have to be is what you made me.

To me, the real thrill is in making the music, and then I just trust it to find its own audience, and at times it's big and at times it's small, but that's beyond my control.

Everybody's entitled to think whatever they want and to express that, but my personal day-to-day experience does not come into contact with any of those people.
