Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.

I like the music. I don't like the business. I get very tired of the travel and moving, constantly moving. But the hour-and-a-half that I'm making music, I'm one of the happiest people on earth.

I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.

I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.

I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.

Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness, so is absolute bliss.
