My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt.

We kiss and hug our kids a lot! And even now when our son lives 3,000 miles away, we talk every day, sometimes several times.

In Europe there's the upper crust, and these are long, historically families and social systems that have certain established rules that's harder to break into.

Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.

If you're trying to do what's popular now, you're way behind already. By the time you record it and do it and try to copy it, it's moved on.

Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.

As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you're releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.
