I believe that there is no doubts about who I am, an artist who loves music, above everything.

A lot of what's been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I've never read anything written about me that was true. It's been completely crazy.

I never stopped writing about what was actually going on in my life. There's nothing to hide.

Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.

I suppose my approach to religion is like my approach to music - I take what I want and leave the rest.

I feel a strong relationship with God and I feel my ties are with him. That's how I honestly feel.

New York's architecture alone is enough to inspire a whole album. In fact, that's what happened at first - my early stuff was mostly just interpretations of landscapes.
