Record labels today are much less patient: Artists have a bad record, and they're gone.
I work hard but I play hard.
First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.
it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ... it's summertime!
I had a notepad and I wrote down 30 things to make myself better just off the top of my head, and the next day I started to do that.
I'm proud of the fact that I'm at a point in my career that if I want to take a little bit of a left turn and make an album that is more hushed, more acoustic and more personal, that I can do it.
