I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

I like situations that force me to rethink things.

Don't sing a song you can't carry off, like some 16-year-old kid singing 'My Way'. That song's not for you. You haven't lived that.

There's no such thing as 'I can't do it'.

So often, the singer is the sound of the record. People think they can cover anything, but the whole voice is the thing that's unrepeatable.

I don't care much about success or anything like that. I've only ever wanted life to be an adventure.

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.
