Over the years, Ive worked with just about everybody.

I was in Germany when the wall came down.

It's all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.

I have one message for young musicians around the world. Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.

It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?

I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old.

Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it?
