I use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

I couldn't do anything without faith. I couldn't open up my eyes, I couldn't walk, I couldn't speak, I couldn't sing.

It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.

Musicians are the architects of heaven.

I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece.

I use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

The true musician is to bring light into people's hearts.
