You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are, and I was trying to do that in the full glare of the public.

I want to conquer the world and it seems like my own family is putting a stop to that.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

I was very, very fortunate. I knew that. I've always known that.

I'd got married and wanted to have kids, so had kids, brought them up, did other things, and slowly got back into music. And it feels great, having one foot in the present, writing and covering interesting songs, and having one foot in the past.
