If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

I'm romantic. I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations. The other day, I saw a tramp polishing his shoes. That just gripped my heart.

I was expecting it to be cynical because I'm like that myself. I wouldn't want it to be all roses because life isn't like that.

I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.

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

A song marks an occasion in my life and that's how I live my life, by songs.
