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

The writing and making of each of my albums has been such a different beast each time, so I'm interested in seeing what kind of animal the fourth one turns out to be!

I know my sound, and I have to be true to who I am as an artist, even though I want be real cool, and make really cool music.

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

Singing was always quite a private thing... I don't think my own mum even heard me sing until after I signed with Sony just out of high school!

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.

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.
