I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.

I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.

I don't ascribe to any particular style or period.

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.

I saw a Velveeta commercial and it was playing, I think 'Burning Love.' He [Michael Jackson] had approved it - that's something we can't control. He can do whatever he wants with the songs he owns to make money, and that got under my skin.
