I don't write demographically. I don't write a song to reach these people or those people.

[People] are trying to - they're trying to create something that solves a series of very complex problems inside of them or in their history. And I think when I unknowingly - when I went to do that, that's what I was - I was trying to integrate all of these very difficult things that I'd been unable to integrate in my life and in my life with my parents.

I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath.

A great singer has to learn how to inhabit a song.

This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

What you were singing about was believable and convincing, that's the key to a great singer.

When you have three teenagers, it gives a whole new meaning to "homeland security."
