As a songwriter you have an umbilical cord to the song and it's hard to expand on your understanding of the lyrics. Whereas when you cover a song you can create your own reason why you're attached to it.

I don't believe that human beings are necessarily monogamous.

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

I think I was a singer before I came out of the womb. I also think that the way you live your life, and the choices you make parallel what doors open up for you.

I just really allowed my muse to be my guide and I just go with whatever I'm feeling.

Minimal is the word I'd use to describe how I live and dress, and it's also how I sing. I'm not a big fan of overemoting.

I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.
