I knew I could sing but I always thought everyone could sing, that everyone was born with a singing voice. Even when I was getting interest from singing, I just thought 'what about all these guys?' Yes, I can sing, I have a good voice but there's so many people that can and do.

It's important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.

I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.

I'm not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I'm not saying, 'I'm sooo not famous,' I'm trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
