Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

We drown our doubts in dry champagne and soothe our souls with fine cocaine. I don't know why I even care, we get so high and get nowhere.

I'm single but interviewing.

I don't care what consequence it brings, I have been a fool for lesser things.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge.

I'm a piano player. I never thought of myself as a singer, at all. I was always trying to sound like somebody else. I don't like my own voice, I like Ray Charles, Robert Plant, I like Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, people that have an edge in their voice.
