My parents had a huge pile of records - vinyl! - that I loved, especially the Motown stuff, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.

I definitely have a firm, fixed idea of what compromise is for me.

I love all kinds of different music.

With the style of music that I do, I don't think it's at the top of their agenda to push me into doing any compromising material.
