No use wishing now for any other sin.

Don't wear your heart on your sleeve when your remarks are off the cuff.

I started with rock n' roll and...then you start to take it apart like a child with a toy and you see there's blues and there's country...Then you go back from country into American music...and you end up in Scotland and Ireland eventually.

I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.

If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains

And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it.

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
