I think as a mature artist, you're probably always trying to undo the compromises of one's self [in general]. It's not necessarily to do with youth.

The great thing about art on any level is that it can speak to all people if it's achieved properly.

You hope that the ideas will come together. You just don't know. That's part of what I suppose is part of being brave and putting creative work out there.

In some ways, when you re-envision a song like that ["Never Be Mine"], there's a completely different energy to it each night.

What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.

I'm not vanishing into thin air.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff. He was really a hugely encouraging force to me when I was little.
