As with anything creative, change is inevitable.

I do a so-called trip into myself: I sit down at the piano and the melody might start to evolve from my playing or then I might start to sing it.

I think they find it - they find me quite confusing, because - they know the music, but they don't know anything about me because I keep a very private lifestyle so they end up making up stories as such. But I don't really concern myself too much about them.

My mouth is a womb. My teeth are my children. My tongue is their babysitter.

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

I don't have pets, I have two guard dogs; and I don't do my own shopping; it's a security thing.

Over in the UK, the music press can be brutal. They can say wonderful things about you one week, and the next week, you're in the can.
