It's been up to me to inspire me.

It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.

Music became a healer for me.

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
