It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to.

Stevie didn't use the technology to drive the song. He used it to enhance. I use the tools to further my work, I don't use my work to further the tools.

I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.

I don't care how small the game. I want to win.

When somebody shows up and they believe in you, it makes all the difference.
