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.

Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight to see you smile, if only for a while to know you're there. A breath away's not far to where you are.

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.

I'm the depresso guy on holidays.

As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.

Maybe the gruffness and anger can be done with a purity of sound.
