I look around my life and it's hard to believe that music has given me all that I have.

I want to be surrounded by women, I want to be snuggled and cuddled and pampered.

I call it sacred geometry. When everything's just right and it feels really balanced, so that when it unfolds to the next part, you feel totally familiar and at ease within the song.

There's a certain feeling of giving, a certain feeling of generosity in love songs. When you sing a song of love, you're actually giving something to yourself, too. You're singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe.

I feel like I write the same album every time but each time I try to convey the message more simply.

It’s strange how dreams get under your skin and give your heart a test for what’s real and what’s imaginary.

You know, there's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both.
