I just sort of try to be a good person; try to write music that lifts people and makes me feel good to sing.

I'm a songwriter first.

Now and forever, I'll remember all the promises still unbroken and think about all the words between us that never needed to be spoken.

I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.

Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.

I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity.

I used to hate the sound of my voice.
