I started cutting my teeth on "Someone To Watch Over Me" [George Gershvin] in the college. I've sung that one for a while. There's something so simple and sweet about that lyric.

Laughter is life-giving. It makes you breathe.

I had to cut a lot of things I wanted to keep [in The Art of Elegance]. I'm going to have to do a part two for sure.

We are what we eat, so I eat as many veggies as I can!

I would love to make an album full of ballads. For a listener, I want to have variety on there.

I'm a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don't believe if you're gay or you have a drink or you dance, you're going to hell. I don't think that's the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I want to be a Christian like Christ - loving and accepting of other people.

I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.
