Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line

If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.

Every time I try to write a song, when I sit down and think I'm going to write, I really want to write a song, and it never works out. It's always when it hits me unexpectedly on a plane or right before I go to bed, something like that.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage.
