Don't give up. It's just the weight of the world.

I've been aware of my gay fans since album one. There has been such great support from that community and it has gone both ways.

When I started in the music business, travel became a huge part of my world, where it hadn't been at all. I visited parts of the world that I'd never been to and found that I was spending maybe 30 days at home a year.

I know that life is a journey I must accept and that pain and confusion are temporary. I know that if I follow my heart, it will lead me where I belong.

My biggest blast-off hit was "You Raise Me Up." If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.

There is a certain... chivalry to the style of singing I normally do. Part of the fun for me will be to leave that at the door.

I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth.
