The writing of a melody is an emotional moment; success doesn't make it easy.

I am not reclusive. I just have a private life.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

The bright days of my youthThey were full of hopeThe great journey that was before me thenWas what was destined to be, bye bye.Now I'm sorrowful,The day is long past.Alas and woe, oh.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

We called the album 'Amarantine' to mean everlasting. Poets use the word to describe an everlasting flower and I loved the image of that.

The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey.
