No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.

I've always wanted to marry Elton John.

I'm still hungry. I've still got a million ideas. I'm still strong and ready to create.

I am nervous that the craft of songwriting is taking a nose dive...And since I'm a songwriter and I connect with an interpretative, you know, interpretation of a song, I miss it. I just miss it.

When it comes to me, I just write the most beautiful music I can, I do the best work I can, and then I hand it out there.

I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life. Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time. No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.

I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful.
