I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.

Good thinking brings good feeling and good feeling brings good thinking.

I was a songwriter and I've written some good songs, but there are lots of greater songs that I know I have inside yet to come out.

Certain artists have a role to echo the echoes of the people and that's what I'll be doing on my next album.

My role is the shepherd's role. The shepherd is the one who opens the gate and allows the flock to go through and whoever opens the gate has to close it, and the gate is not yet closed.

I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all.

I visit studios. Just to get the feel, the smell, and see what other people are doing. Not only listening to the radio, but going to studios, greeting musicians and artists, just getting a vibe.
