I've sung since I talked, when I'm two, but what I sang was ballads, because it's very hard to do a dance track with your little acoustic guitar when you're a kid.

The responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.

To know that everything we say and do to this new little human being may have a profound effect on him or her is a daunting obligation.

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.

When I write a song it's always from the point of view: makes the song the best it can be.

You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come.

I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.
