I have a particular style of writing and my voice sounds a particular way, which lends itself to a certain style.

I think I was always an old soul, even as a teenager.

Now that I have seen I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead.

I'm a bit of a book worm, so a lot of the songs I write are inspired by books.

I'm not quite sure where the sponsorship rumour came from... probably because I have been a spokesperson for child sponsorship so people just assumed that was the connection.

Those who have had the most impact and influence throughout history and certainly the people who've had the most impact and influence on me personally have been basically entirely unaware of any such influence and made their chief concern their personal devotion and obedience, and the pleasure of God in the hidden things of their lives.

David Bowie is the quintessential English gentleman and, of course, a musical and generational institution. I only played support for him for one night (not a whole tour) but he was incredibly gracious and generous toward me and I've certainly never forgotten it.
