Usually there's no specific reason for loneliness - it's a broad feeling.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.

Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.
